Notice Cobb's grip on Leon's Orange Borders card and Wagner's grip on Tim's Polo Grounds card. Both guys have their hands separated on the bat. This grip was common in the dead ball era: The batters would wait to see the pitch. If it was a fast one, they would slide the upper hand down and swing for power. If it was a slower or tricky pitch, they would slide their lower hand up, thus choking up, and try to punch the ball into an open area for a single. I believe Willie Keeler was also an expert at this.
Very cool to see that on these cards.
