Did it get any more prolific than 1910?
 

I was just looking at a list of sets produced in 1910. Holy smokes, I know what year I would go back to if I had a time machine. :D

Was there a more prolific year for producing sets other than 1910?

D322 Tip Top
E90-1
E90-2
E92
E93
E96
E103
E97
E98
E99
E100
E104-1
E104-2
E104-3
E105
E125
E271
E222
E286
M116
T3
T206
T209
T210
T212-1
T213-1
T215-1

And a case could be made to include,

E92
E101
E102

I would go back to 2001 and collect all 187 Albert Pujols rookie cards.

I'd go back one year further, 1909; specifically to Factory 25 in Virginia.

You left out at least E254, P2, PX7 and S74.

I figured I left off a few issues.

I brought this topic up
 

During the very first SABR Deadball conference in 2002 and if I recall correctly, it was suggested this had to do with some anti-trust laws being blown apart and cumpanies looking for money streams with the increased competition. I'll try to find the reference on line

That is absolutely ridiculous

Three of the four sets I collect we're made in 1910.Plus one if my favorite sets of all time being the E222's.I haven't been lucky enough to pick up an example yet but I agree,what a prolific and significant year in the Prewar Card world.

A bit off topic here, but 1910 was also the peak production year for postcards...the Chicago Post Office was said to have handled over a million postcards per day in that year.

1888 wasn't too bad either; here are a few options from 1888:

E223
M117
N28
N29
N43
N162
N172
N173
N321
N338-1
N338-2
N403
WG1
Police Gazette Cabinets

And many other die cuts, scraps, BB currency, and baseball themed cards (Duke Terrors, Presidential BB Club, SF Hess Newsboys, etc.).

A big +1 and a round of applause for capitalism.

The year 1910, and the surrounding few years, were great for the proliferation of baseball cards..

Leon those are some bad ass cards there.The Sieber especially.I am very interested in locating a Titman.Nice array of backs too.I need to find the old warehouse they were made at here in the city.I love the research part of the hobby.

it's close
 

but when adding in sets that included at least one baseball referenced card in addition to the strictly base ball sets - the 1887/1888 issues might have it.........

187
 

Does this number include his minor league rookies issues?:)
