Here you see the origins of the images from the photos they were lifted from....

one thing i noticed was that the team emblems were added onto the cards, they are not on the original artwork

In 2004, MastroNet Auctions had a group of photographs taken by Louis Van Oeyen. One of the photos is of Sam Crawford and the image is identical to his T206 throwing version.

If anyone has the book "A portrait of Baseball photography", it is on page 252.

I was once fortunate enough to view a collection which included the original photo used for the T206 Wagner along with a PSA 4 example of the card. I suspect photos existed as the basis for all the cards at one point with the exception of the Spike Shannon card. That was drawn by the 3 year old son of the American Tobacco Company.
