Evidently you credit the T205 artists with choosing that horrible mugshot instead of this classic pose:



That's just further evidence that the T205 artists had little or no skill in presentation. Maybe they were just trying to use as many ugly shots as possible in an effort to turn the public off of baseball.....
The 206s would have been a far better set had they just stuck with portraits. Many of those are solid, but the majority of the action shots are crap. They don't look anything like the player. They remind me of W514s...not that there is anything wrong with collecting strip cards. Every 205 strongly resembles the player.
