Also I know the Reniff GT is the pitching pose but someone mentioned to me that there could be a GT of the portrait pose. Is that correct?
Thanks again for the help. I'm busy looking for the slightly bigger PA speaker in the centerfield wall on the Dallas Green card, but otherwise I know what to look for and it's really helped because I have run across some dealers who advertise GT cards when they are not...

Who the heck is Don??

I'll post the pair of cards you asked about in a moment. I have never seen a Reniff portrait GT and am positively certain it does not exist. The green tints with card #139 are the pitching pose you mentioned as well as the Babe Ruth card. It seems to me card #159 wasn't printed at all during the GT phase (only the misnumbered #139) and was only found to be misnumbered 'later' on.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
