I really enjoyed reading about the process for the cereal football set, good read and can't believe all the manual steps involved in the process - thanks!

Also, regarding the photo used for the card - I'm in no way an expert in that area. Yes, I did realize there are differences in the photo and the card. Not a lot, but some. Since the image used on the 1934 Goudey was a painted image, I just assumed they probably used this particular photo as a model for the art. After several hours of research on this particular photo and the Goudey, I couldn't find any other photos that were even close. I could definitely be wrong and happy to admit that.

I'll check the previous thread out - thanks for the information! I'm a new member so I guess before I post a thread I should check for previous ones.

No harm, no foul. I welcome new threads, and I had no intention to stop others from posting, but that one I linked is not on the main forum (it is in the Memorabilia section), and it took me about 9 or 10 years to discover its existence. So I like to share it for others that, like me, don't/rarely venture over to the memorabilia side so that they can discover it too. Please post away folks.

As far as your photo, it was probably taken in the same photo session as the one that was used for the Goudey card. Such a fun, unique pose!

I am of the thinking that photos made into cards need to be exact. As has been said, in photo sessions, many might have been taken that resemble the one...but there is one.
