That is a very good question....and, here is my take on why there are so few Dark Blue portrait Major Leaguers in the T206 set.

The 150 Series comprises of most of the Portrait subjects (59). But, only the Waddell portrait in this Series was printed with a Dark Blue background.

When you get into the 350 & 460 Series, the majority of the subjects are action poses. Here are the few Dark Blue portraits of the Major Leaguers....

Barry (A's)
Chase (portrait)
Dygert
Knight (portrait)
Krause (portrait)
Murray (portrait)


The Minor Leaguers, though, in the 350 series include these subjects with dark Blue portraits.....

Arndt
Batch
Brain
Dessau
Malarkey
Nattress
Quillen
Schlafly
Schreck
Thielman
