MikeI agree, player poses do favor a vertical format cards. It is a nice surprise though when a set that is primarily vertical format throws a horizontal pose or two in there.
I think in the case of the 1953 Bowman set the Reese is the only one correct?
I remember as a kid a 1991-92 Score or Fleer Sammy Sosa card, when he was on the White Sox, that had a horizontal format. I think for that reason only, it was the best looking card in a awful set.
Also, lets not forget the 1971 Topps Thurman Munson. One of my all time favorites
I guess if a card company notices early on that an image would look good horizontally, it usual works out with impressive results.
