Horner Cabinets......

That Speaker would have made a great T206 portrait. I would definitely buy a Horner book (or W600 book for that matter) that collected all the BB images.

On weekends, Carl Horner left his studio to take action shots on the field.

It was used for Speaker's M116 portrait.

Rhys is right about the minor leaguers. I discovered the source photo for Roy Ellam's T206 a few years ago...they actually just used a shot from his hometown.

I remember looking through the legendary catalogues Rhys is referring to and
had difficulty finding many Conlon or Thompson photos used for T206s.
I did see Conlon's L. Tannehill and a Killian and I bid on both and won the Tannehill,gratefully. Ialso remember a Van Oeyen photo or 2. I do remember
Thompson had a few photos for T205s.
My impression has been that Conlon was key for T206 poses and not Thompson but would be eager to have it proved otherwise. I've also been under the impression that it's a bit difficult to know what a true Thompson is anyway since he allowed so many 'underlings' to use his credit line for pretty savvy business reasons but tough on those of us looking for the 'pure' Thompson. My one Type 1 Thompson is of Buck Weaver sliding by Fletcher in the 1917 World Series SAFE---not a T206 pose, obviously, but a keeper of the Black Sox 'to be'.

I'm pretty sure my Harry Howell Horner is the photo used for his T206 portrait, although with a uniform change.
