I really like all four, and you couldn't go wrong with any of them. But there's just something about the bat off shoulder that grabs me.
When it comes time to add Mr. Cobb to my T206 collection for the first time, that will be the one. And I'm as big a portrait fan as there is. But I love the background on the bat off. Plus, there's something pensive, almost regal about Cobb's pose. Plus, he seems to be staring down an opposing pitcher, as if to say "hey, bud, I'm the Georgia Peach. I'm a career .367 hitter. You've got nothing for me, so you might as well toss that triple right over the plate, and get it over with."
