Single source photo for 11 different T206 Cards
 

I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but it was new to me. Here's a really great NY Giants team photo from 1909 that was used as teh source photo for 11 different T206 cards. The photo isn't mine, so I've shared the instagram link. Makes me wonder if there are any other similar photos that spawned several T206 cards.

Here's the photo

I've never seen that before, thanks for posting. It'd be a pretty nice T206 portrait card if they used the photo of that big guy in the middle.

It's a shame they didn't turn the guy on the far left into a card. That would've had a fun look to it.

Edited to add: just realized that fine gentleman is Rube Marquard.

Trying to find the appropriate creator to credit. As far as I can tell it was a redditor by the handle of MaxActionJackson. If anyone can confirm, I'll update the post with the proper attribution. This is too good to go unacknowledged

I’ve seen it before…always a treat to see though.

Maxwell Jackson is a member here and there is a prior thread regarding this picture. Nothing new here. I’m sure he will check in and defend his find.

And Maxjacks is his handle here.

Awesome!! Really neat photo find and T206 placements!

We’ll done MaxJacks, awesome find

Always enjoy seeing photos like this, and great find!

Neat. I clicked on the link expecting to have seen the photo before, but I hadn't.

Classic photo
 

When the picture was posted years ago, it was so well received that Leon had it made into a Net54baseball pin that he handed out at one of the Nationals!

Its nice to see people appreciating this piece long after I made it. Thanks everyone.

At some point I would love to put something together with all the baseball card art I've made

Just a sidenote I have made an updated version that I feel is better and I'll have to share it at some point

Classic photo
 

Isn’t that Marquard on the far left?

One of my favorite original posts (thanks maxjacks)—and thanks for today’s reminder. I would love to see someone with digital talent create mock T206s of the guys in the photo who did NOT get 460-only subjects.

Here is the previous thread about this photo:

Post 8 of that linked thread has a great closeup of the original team photo, and post 11 has that same photo with the superimposed cards.

I forgot about this one....

amazing how fast you all can find everything

Great Forum and responsive group of people

Yup, and Christy Mathewson is the big guy in the middle.

Wasn't there also a Net54 t-shirt with that image? I miss the different t-shirts. I have worn all of mine out.:(
