Most beautiful t206 card

[pgellis]

Easy..................Chase Pink Portrait.....the best...........

[oldphil]

Always liked the Dougherty portrait. Hard to believe it's the same guy when comparing the T206 and T205 cards.

Subtle and dignified:

Glad to see Lobert and Dougherty, two more of my faces. I have and like the pink Chase but from an aesthetic sense (I've done a lot of part-time magazine art directing in my time) it always bugs me that his head is too low on the card--too much space above. Maybe that's just me.

Mike Powers anyone? Shag?

Wonka, your collection is amazing..

The coloration of your cards is awsome

[Jlighter]

Yeah...I just made that my wallpaper, so thanks.

My top 5 would be

Hugh Duffy
Harry Pattee
Rube Waddell (pitching)
George Davis (Chicago)
Wid Conroy (with bat)

Willie Keeler (with bat) is also a cool image with the clouds floating in the background, and the Cobb (bat off) is simply a work of art.

Here's 4 from my top 5 (the Conroy is not mine - borrowed from a random image search)

I have a hard time narrowing it down to five each, but today, here are my thoughts.

Ports:
Rucker
Lobert
Dougherty
Walsh
Tinker

Action:
Cobb Bat Off
Rucker Pitching
Wheat
Lajoie W/Bat
Jordan Batting

Best,

Andy

This is the only T206 I've kept because I think it's the best looking one.



Not my scan, mine is SGC.

[cockrellcollection]

My favorite portrait is definitely the Walsh and I'm really into the Conroy fielding pose.

[3-2-count]

It's a toss up between these two port's for me. The red & black colors on the Tinker and olive & blue colors on the Walsh were great choices when produced.

I like your lists Andy, would also include Evers portrait.
Also really like Burch batting, Powers, Pattee and Evers blue sky.

Mike,

I am especially with you on Burch Batting and Pattee. Just too tough to narrow it down.

Best,

There are some amazing images in this set. I have thought of this before if I was only allowed say 30-50 cards from the set which ones would I keep. Doubt I could choose just five. Below are some of my choices sorry for the hodgepodge images working from my laptop. Beautiful cards everyone.




Cheers,

John

The T206 Dougherty portrait always makes me think of Harry Houdini.



My holy grail is a Dougherty card signed by Houdini.

Looks a little like Bobby Wallace.

[GregMitch34]

Glad to see someone else loves Ellam. Actually image is me, age 9.

[oldjudge]

My favorite has always been the Cobb Bat Off.

[Touch'EmAll]

The Cy Young portrait is very nice, also is the Lajoie w/bat.

Of the four Cobb's, the two non-portraits have better eye appeal.

[SushiX37]

Not sure why, but the Cy Young Glove Showing has always been one of my favorites.

[sdkammeyer]

ABSOLUTELY no offense here ...... but what does everyone see in the Evers?

Every time I see this card I instantly think of a crackhead lookin' aids victim.
Bob Cratchit

I like the big stick and the cool stadium piece in the background but ...........

[GregMitch34]

Yeah, I agree on Ever, I own it--a Hindu even--but prefer the other variation (not to mention the portrait, one of the greats, and to my mind more striking than the green Young and green Cobb).

[Kawika]

Two of my favorites:


And, of course, my own personal Wonkified T206:

I like the cold and eerie blue on blue, which I think offers a nice contrast to all the warm sunsets.. your crackhead is my "ghost of the deadball era".

... though I have to admit, Evers was a bubble pick for me. I really like the Merkle throwing (just posted), but have a really crappy example that I didn't want to post.

[E93]

This is one of the first two T206s that I got 30+ years ago. I may be sentimental, but I still think it is the best looking card in the set, though with some close runner-ups. This one really captures the era for me.

There are so many great looking T206 cards. I will just throw in one of my personal favorites...I always thought that if this card had the face of Christy Mathewson (for example), it would be on the top of most people's wish lists. Sorry the image is so small...it deserves large scale.
