I realize this is a bit different than the artwork. Still, I would love to own a photo like this, one from which a tobacco card was made.

I saved a pic of the photo you are talking about. If they can find hundreds of one hundred year old mint cards in grandpa's attic, why not all of the original artwork. I would start my search in Ohio.

There used to be some good stuff on Scott's site here, but the links are dead now.

Maybe someone archived those images?

Here's my original Horner of Bob Ewing. This photo wasn't used to make his T206 but it was used to make his T204 and Fan Craze cards:

I too have the same dream about finding the original artwork. Not only for T206 - it would be pretty awesome for any T card. I know some of it exists for Exhibits, but I don't recall seeing anything earlier than those.

Here is my Ellam RPPC that was used to make his T206 card.

The original artwork for both issued and unissued cards in the Diamond Stars set has appeared in auctions over the years, and the Werber is currently on Ebay.

anyone know the original photos used for the Sam Crawford with bat and throwing versions of the T206 card?
