T205 images not from Paul Thompson photos

The same photos were used in the 1911 Spalding Base Ball Guide.

But in some cases, such as Ed Walsh, the Thompson photo was not used for the T205.








I noticed recently that the T205 Walsh image is a match for the PC796 Sepia Postcard Walsh.



Morph animation:



Does anyone else have examples of T205s that don't use the Paul Thompson images, but instead use images that can be tied to some other known card or source?

Are you sure that was not a Paul Thompson photo as well? Most of the images in the portrait t205 were of the classic shots in the dugouts. But not all. Here are a couple examples. These were PT photos used for the t205 cards.
Also, there are multiple Paul Thompson “dugout” shots per player.. obviously only one was used. I also have examples of those.

My guess is, if the photo you shared (if it was the one used for the t205 portrait) is also a PT photo.

Ps: love your research. If you find any i could used for my set, i would pay handsomely(PT t205 images AND minor league).

I’ve never seen an original photo for the PC796 Walsh, so I guess it could be a different Thompson photo. I would love to see that photo if anyone has info on it.
