Landscape or Portrait?

JackWESQ

TRULY, much ado about nothing, but just wondering. Do you prefer landscape or portrait cards? For me, I prefer landscape. That said, portrait is the "safe" way to go for card manufacturers. But some of the landscape cards out there look great, e.g., 1951 Bowman Willie Mays, 1971 Topps Thurman Munson, 1953 Bowman Pee Wee Reese, etc.

I prefer landscapes myself.

For display purposes, I prefer portrait.

That's why I went with the 61 Yaz instead of the 60 on this display I made... It would look strange with the landscape 60 Topps RC.

I agree...I like portrait too, although I do like the 1955 All Americans!
Tens, that's a great piece!

Landscape because they look like tiny paintings.

I like it when a set has only a select couple in landscape.

A great action shot that sorta stands out in the set.

1972 Topps Football is my favorite with a nice mix of portrait and landscape. Great portrait of Staubach and great landscape of Namath IA.

Some could make the case that their are landscapes, portraits and in actions.

with landscapes being a player set up into a batting stance or a pitcher just following thru.


A true in action being like the Munson shown above.

I prefer Landscapes, as opposed to in action shots.

The 52 Bowman set is filled with 'landscapes'

It depends, raw I like both just as equally (depending on the player and design of course). For graded, I have to go with portrait only becase no grading company has done the right thing, and offered holders that display a landscape image nicely, with the flip on top.

Landscape since historically there are fewer of them in a set and usually cool action shots.

I Prefer landscape as well

They have not done that because it's an added expense to make the different size holder (almost square) you would need since one length would have to increase and one length would have to decrease.

I actually prefer portrait, but agree there's some really nice landscape cards out there. I've always like this one of ol' steroid monkey here the best out of all his cards.

10s - that's a really cool display, I like that a lot.

Portraits, no wait... landscape.

jdip9 and Bottom9th, thanks for the compliments on the display!

Ladder7, that's cool.. it's a landscaped card with portrait photos. The best of both worlds I guess?
