Anyone aware of method of manufacture of orig T206s, Obaks, and E cards?
Posted By: Brueso
I'm sticking my neck out here about my ignorance of the manufacture of T206, caramel cards and Obaks- they seem to basically be illustrations or paintings sometimes based on existing photos (Scott has some on his website). But I wondered if they were made from original paintings or illustrations, has anyone ever heard of anyone owning these things? |

The player images on T206s and similar appearing E-cards were reproductions of real photographs that were colored either directly on the photograph before reproduction or otherwise colored during the production/printing process. Both due to the style in which they were colored and the fact that the lithography used back then was rather primitive, the cards ended up often looking more like paintings than photographs. |

It's fascinating to me that someone back in the early 1900s would choose to paint in a yellow or completely orange sky. Some of the cards look almost psychedelic because of some of the colors used- much less conventional as far as colors used then sets in the almost 100 years since! |

My understanding is that the guy who painted the Pattee horizontal went on to design tourist post-cards for the state of Florida. |

many of the t-cards, specifically t204 & many t206's along with many e-cards, such as e107 & e103 were taken from carl horners photography work, as are W600's and many other early baseball issues, they are in some cases the original photo or "colorized version's" these usually having team names drawn in such as on the t206's, as to the obaks i am not sure of the original photographer, but i am fairly sure it was the same scenario, a photographer took the pictures and the cards were "colorized from them. |

As a collector of Goudeys, Diamond Stars, and Play Balls, I thought it would be informative to put together a more detailed presentation regarding their production and "provenance" than what I've been able to find "out there". Locating the original photographic image for as many of the cards as possible seemed like a good place to begin, but when I tried to find the burke pictures referenced by scott, even Google hasn't been much help! Can anyone give me a clue? They could be prints, jpegs, pictures in books... |

...the Matty horizontals (as on my Nadja, Dockman's, etc) have those multi-colored sky patterns that really are quite bizarre...but, quite honestly, they look pretty damm cool. I don't know who thought up that scheme, but I like it on those cards. I have a few that are amazingly bright and vibrant. (I'm starting to sound like Wine Spectator...LOL) |

When I am looking for type cards, several times I've ended up picking cards because of their sky background. |

I got lucky and found the photo used to make the e95 Wagner. Feeling that I had to use it for something, I've decided to create a new web-page. |
