What's your favorite non-portrait T206?

[scmavl]

I'm going with Wilhelm (with bat). Just classic.

[Runscott]

Matty black cap

[bbcard1]

Lots of good ones, but this was always one of my favorites

[Jason Carota]

Wildfire Schulte front view.

[Phillies*phan]

What was Cobb's lifetime BA against Matty?

[Big Six]

now if I only knew where this damn "loving cup" was today!!!



Is there any other card with such an image???

[jthorst75]

Merkle (throwing) or Evers (Chicago on shirt). Just timeless.

Leifield pitching pose is by far my favorite. About 11 years ago I looked for the nicest one I could find, found one that looks Mint but is ungraded with deep colors. I put together a set that is probably vg+ for most common cards but I spent $110 circa 2000 dollars to get the nicest Leifield I could, probably over 3x the amount I spent on any other common back then

[Mikehealer]

It would be hard to narrow it down to 10, but these two would certainly be in my top 10.

[toppcat]

Beat me to it-Cobb Bat Off for sure.

[CW]

Duffy and Pattee would be my favorites, with Lajoie and Waddell thrown in as honorable mentions.

[scmavl]

Thanks guys. I really can't disagree with any of there. Two others I like as my favorites were Matty (black cap) and this Tinker card:

[DeanH3]

Cobb Bat On Shoulder for me.

[Cooper1927]

Got to love the male pattern baldness...

[abothebear]

[Ericc22]

I don't have a scan of mine, but I'd vote for McGraw Hands on Hip - my favorite!

John beat me to it...the Leifield pitching has always been a favorite. Not only does it feature a classic pitching pose and wonderful artwork, but I have always been a sucker for cards with turbulent, blazing sunsets. This card has it all for me. Here is a scan of one that I pulled from ebay.

You guys are right, the Leifield pitching is pretty sweet.

My favorites right are Harry Lord and Rudy Hulswitt. Lord looks like he just jacked one out of the park and is admiring it. The Hulswitt has great detail and is real colorful...and the uniform is great!

[jalex]

Donie Bush, Detroit... He looks like a bad-ass...

[tjb1952tjb]

It's so difficult to choose, but here's a few of my favorites. I think it must be the incredibly beautiful colors.................

[CMIZ5290]

Rube waddell throwing..... It probably has 15 different colors! Just amazing

+1 on this - forgot all about Gandil, one of my most favorite.

The Grindal is one of the best, here is some others I love for the artwork:

[brett]

How could nobody mention this...

[bbcard1]

Sadly, I looked in the mirror today and my haircut Magie's.

[BleedinBlue]

[atx840]

[Anthony S.]

I'll go with peculiarity determining favorites.

Spike Shannon looks like a Dick Tracy character. Maybe Granite Face or Shoulderless Man.

Purtell was apparently built like a chimpanzee.

And I've always thought of this Marquard as being the "Creepy Guy Lurking Near a Playground" pose.

(images lifted from T206 Resource as I was too lazy to scan my own)

[scmavl]

These are great, keep 'em coming!

[CW]

heh heh, I normally don't bump older topics like this, but....

I was trying to remember a certain T206 for this thread at the time it was current, but I couldn't recall the player's name. I finally saw his card the other day in a catalog and just wanted to add it to the list of cool non-portrait T206's... the batting pose of Wid Conroy (not my card, btw)

[HRBAKER]

this one, followed by Cobb Bat Off

[sandmountainslim]

Big Bill Chappelle
The perfect mix of color and facial expression

[ethicsprof]

I have the Conlon original Lee tannehill throwing framed along with my fav.T206
Tannehill (no L)--- a perfect match.
The casual way he appears to be 'tossing' the ball always catches my eye.
best,
barry

[dog*dirt]

I have always been partial the the Maloney card.

[DixieBaseball]

This one :

[deadballera]

have always like the Lajoie throwing

[daves_resale_shop]

Matty Black Cap by Far.
