T206 Portraits

The proof for some that this is a portrait is that it does not feature Titus's belt.

Tony - Amazing examples. Your stuff is always high end.

Michael - That Hindu Young is an absolute favorite of mine. Since I don't see a Hindu Young in my near future. I'll have to settle with these guys.

I agree with MyBuddy and Kidnapped, Gibson and McGraw with cap are not portraits. My experience is that those guys know their old cards.

Seems like a knee jerk response was to figure if PSA says there are 182 portraits, then T206 Resource and anyone with a lesser number must have missed some.

Still, collect what you want, and if you like the looks of Gibson and/or Mr. McGraw with a cap, add those guys in there.

Since we're throwing around Cy Hindus, here is my PWCC pickup from last night.

Beauty. Brian, congrats!

I think that collectors who go after the T206 portraits probably are folks who like a consistent look (and appreciate the wonderful artwork). Not all of the portrait artwork is at the high level seen in the Big6's post showcasing Hall of Famers (some of the minor league players come to mind), but the T206 set is such a large issue we can cut it some slack.

Here is a favorite scan of mine of a group emphasizing red and orange backgrounds seen on some of the portrait cards.

I sold everything but my portraits. Still have about 70 or so.
