Horizontal cards anyone?

[Leon]

As a neat collecting subset I have collected horizontal poses for a while...Here is my latest addition. Anyone else want to show any? The tobacco stain on the fellas leg is in quite the precarious place. He thought it was only flatulence....

My favorite horizontal pose:

From For Trade/Sale

This "A" has been swimming in my mediocre sea of beaters for a while. It has always been one of my favorites.
Edited to add: "Nice timing, Matt!"

What a catch this must have been ...

American Lithographic produced the T206's in basic groups of SIX cards (and multiples thereof).

These 6 horizontal's were printed in the 1st Series and are proof of this theory. Throughout the
various series in the T206 set it is evident that 6 subjects were the common denominator in the
printing process.

Rob, I've looked at this card a bit and I'm starting to think that it might not actually be a horizontal pose, that he may have just been settling under the ball. What do you think?

[tedzan]

Rob D thinks Dunn is a "horizontal"......and, I (and most T206 dudes) KNOW it isn't.

But, this is a game we play every time this subject arises.

So, let's let Rob have his fun.


P.S.....Thanks for posting your 53B Reese......I was going to post mine; however, it is not
graded and although it's as nice as yours, it would not get the "OOH's & AAH's" like yours
will.

That Bowman Reese is one of the coolest shots I have ever seen. Beautiful.

It doesn't get much more horizontal than this one.....

Hmmm, you might have a point, Jeff. But next time could you work in some condescension to your post?

Jim R,

Gotta love that Pelty. One of my favorite cards of all time, just because it's so weird. Looks like he was having a Close Encounter and trying to explain our culture.

[Brian Van Horn]

I'll leave it up to you folks. I have quite a few more horizontals, particularly from the E220 set. Let me know if you would like me to post the scans.

[tedzan]

Sounds good to me......continue posting them.

[Brian Van Horn]

Thank You, Ted. I will get to the E220s shortly, but first, here are some of my other horizontals.

Rhett - I just hurt my neck.

Arrived today! Thanks Leon

Leon,
Looks like he could have use a confidence wipe.

When I abandoned my pursuit of a CJ set last year and sold about 100 of them, I kept only a half dozen and this was the only common.

Getting to the E220s in a bit, but here are some more horizontals:

And with good cause!

I love high grade CJ's. <3

[Leon]

I could have sworn I just posted this...Oh well, guess I am getting old.

Long time fellow collector Larry Moe sent this to add to our thread...thanks much..

[Brian Van Horn]

Last of the horizontals before the E220s. The Lopez is not my best example, but it was the most readily at hand:

I think this guy had a hard night the night before.....If this is stealing a base I would like to see him stumbling..

This one always brings to mind the George Kennedy quote from "Cool Hand Luke" about how you don't mess with "the Man with no eyes."

Leon you have good taste.
The George Wood "sliding" buchner is the only horizontal in the set.
And since the set doesn't have numbers and goes alphabetical, Wood's
sliding pose is the last card.
Here's another shot at one.

Richard,
Cool cards. But how about that horizontal die cut in your avatar.

Anthony -
whenever I see that card I think of the old guy from the movie Poltergeist.
