Greetings fellow collectors. I just noticed that the M101-1 Elmer Flick rookie card notes that he was with Boston. He never played for that team. He was with Philadelphia that season. I added the link for reference.

My guess is that they used the Oct 28, 1899 Chick Stahl, issued two weeks before (Lave Cross, 3b, St Louis was the week in between), as a template since Stahl and Flick were both rightfielders. They then just forgot to change the team when setting it.
