Portraits vs. baseball poses
I don't know why the hobby (generally) values the T206 portraits more than the baseball poses; the latters' athleticism, varied backgrounds and pastel colors are so much more attractive and interesting to me. I understand that many of the classic T206 portraits are based on Carl Horner original studio photographs and that can, in part, account for the differences in value. But how can you beat the aesthetics of these four? Personally, I wouldn't trade them straight-up for equivalently-graded portraits of Lajoie, Cobb, Crawford (even if he had a portrait!) and Waddell (...and I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder!)
I'd be interested to hear others' thoughts and differing perspectives.
