To me T201 cards are nice colorful cards, with some nice poses, but overall the faces just don't look like the player. In fact, I think the E91A set does a better job, but of course I would say that, being a constant E91A/B supporter.
Of the Hall of Fame players that have full-length body poses, I would say that the Mordecai Brown card has the closest facial likeness, along with a decent pitching pose. The Crawford (which has a squatty Cobb on its backside) is not a bad likeness, but his wide open mouth bugs me.
For non-HOF players, Chase and Lobert look a fair amount like the player. Without checking out all the non-HOFers, my vote in this category would be Chase.
As far as poses, I really like Mathewson, Speaker, Lajoie, Johnson, Bender and Evers, but their noggins are really lacking in noggin authenticity.
Avoid the Walsh card like the plague...that is one awkward looking depiction.

Reason: added Walsh scan just for fun, and provided better Brown scan
