Default Fascinating T206s

Speaking of hair, I think Matty McIntyre's hairdo is right up there with Tinker's and Shag's. What is that? The wind-blown look? At least Tinker's and Shag's looks combed.

(I don't own this card, so I posted the image from the Old Cardboard site).

Default These questions are always hard for me to answer

But the reason I wanted sharp looking Latham and Mattern cards for my second run at the Monster is because I had beautiful versions last time that SGC would not grade because they said a chemical had been used to clean them. So, this time around, I got me some uncleansed versions that are equally beautiful. And I love the images to boot.....

...but as far as mystique goes, the angelic look of the Walter Johnson portrait has always amazed me. The Al Burch Batting with the sun setting behind the church (?) also carries a certain mystique. And for me, why this card was one of the select few that was only issued in the 150 Series further adds to the mystique.

Maybe not mysterious or fascinating, but these two cards certainly make me wonder:
1) Is that a sunset or an out-of-control wildfire behind George Davis? Or is he playing ball in Hell perhaps?
2) What are those two vertical lines below Ed Willetts' elbow supposed to be?
