Horizontal t206's

[MVSNYC]

I do not think the Dunn was designed to be horizontal. if he were diving for the ball, his eyes would be looking higher to spot the ball and his head would be cocked a little higher too. also, as mentioned above, if it were truly meant to be a horizontal card, the artists would have added a horizon line to make it very clear to the viewer that it is in fact a horizontal card...not the case.

I will say this, if viewed vertically, his body angle is a little weird for an overhead catch...BUT, for reasons i listed above, i will still say it is not meant to be a horizontal card.

This strange angle of the body is explained by my hypothosis in my post.

Looks like he's diving for a ball. The way his eyes are positioned and the position of his body...in the corner of the card. If he was meant to be vertical, I think it was poorly done.



I can't speak for everyone, but when you first picked up this card, tell me you didn't try to position it horizontally...that was my first reaction and to this day when I see the card, I always want to flip it sideways.



And if this card wasn't already labeled as a vertical pose, would you still hold your current stance...

I never...ever thought this card/pose was intended to be a horizontal one...ever! Until the question was raised on here years ago. I appreciate the tenacity...but it's meant to be vertical!

Yeah, me too.

If you look on eBay, there are a few that are displayed horizontally, so we're not the only ones who think so.

I'm with you again Mike. I totally agree. I always thought it was a horizontal!

Now I mean, Dunn could be hunched over, maybe? I don't know, but either way. ..
