Simply because some of the non-portraits were such close matches to the photos used, I always felt that 'tweaking' was the exception rather than the rule. Once Steve B explained the detail of how the photo images were transferred to the beginnings of the T206 artwork, that theory made even more sense.
At some point I'll display a card (maybe the Reulbach 'no glove') along with an assortment of the 'close but no cigar' photographs from his career.
Not to further my debate with John D, but because he couldn't locate the original photo for Dots Miller, he (or someone else in the discussion?) said they thought that maybe the T206 art for some 'in action' shots was created by taking a photograph of a different player and tweaking it to look like the intended player. I still don't buy into that theory, and finally locating the Miller photo rebukes it, at least somewhat.
