Walter Johnson Hands at Chest

Different artists were used to create the cards in the t206 set.

It's sort of fun to try and group your cards "by artist". Some of the "action pose" artists had their own funky background techniques,etc., while the ones who handled the portraits seemed to just colorize the b&w photos, but it's obvious that wasn't the case with most of the action shots - some might even be line drawings not based on photos. The Claude Ritchey card looks like it might be the only one done by that particular artist. Of course it's all speculation, but another aspect of what makes this set so interesting.
