Default The T207 Printing Process

Posted By: Bill Cornell

David-

If T207's are lithographs, where are the original photos they were based on? I've never seen a single one.

As points of comparison:

- many T205's are lithographs from Paul Thompson photos (some of these can be seen in Donald Honig's Classic Baseball Photographs: 1869-1947)
- many T206's are lithographs based on Carl Horner photos (Plank and Wagner are the most obvious examples)

My contention is that T207's are not lithographs, but instead are "real" paintings (for lack of a better word). As far as I know, no one has ever cited a photo any of the cards were based on.

And, TBob's effort to the contrary, this is not a set any sane person should go after... Good luck in any case, Geoffrey.
