Default T206 JACK DUNN....Babe Ruth's 1st manager

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

"If you say so. It's an odd pose though."


I'm not just saying so. Note the 6 horizontal T206's. Obviously, they are horizontal designs, not just because
of the player's pose. But, because of their horizon artwork.

Had American Lithographic intended for this Dunn card to be a horizontal, they would have included backdrop
artwork similar to their 6 horizontal cards.

Incidently, I don't think that Dunn's pose is "odd". He is simply leaning back to catch a pop fly hit back to the
pitcher's mound. Back in the old days, pitchers fielded pop flies hit back in their direction.
