T206 Burch "Statue of Liberty" ???
This is a fun thread I once posted elsewhere. The T206 Burch (Batting) has a monument in the background. Looks to me like a statue. And, [gasp], Mr. Burch happened to play in Brooklyn, N.Y. Sure, Lady Liberty was probably not visible from the Brooklyn ballpark yatta yatta. But, Burch (Batting) is a 150-only subject -- one of the very first produced in the set. What better way to draw attention than by sketching an iconic image in the background? Any thoughts?
