There are 5 cards in this set printed Horizontally....Buster Brown, Charlie
Hall, Addie Joss (pitching), Willie Keeler (throwing) and John Siegle.

This Keeler card depicts him as NY Giant. He ended his career as a Giant in 1910.
Which suggests that this card of him was printed very late in the production run,
and therefore, short-printed. This card's very high price reflects this fact.
The two earlier Keeler cards identify him as a NY Highlander.

The Buster Brown card has him with Boston (NL), which reflects him being
traded to July 1909.

Charlie Hall was involved in a trade from Cinc to Bost(AL) in 1909.

Addie Joss (portrait) in the earlier Series and in this late Series he is
depicted in a pitching pose. I suspect that this card was printed later in
in production process.

I am not sure why Johnny Siegle (sic..Seigle) is in this set, as his very
short playing career ended in 1906.
