I think I arrived at a hasty conclusion in post #904. Further research indicates there was a lot of changeability going on when this group of 37 guys were printed.
Approx. 30 % of this group of 37 guys were either Retiring or being Traded. Therefore, trying to figure out which subject was replaced, and which subject was the
replacee 110 years ago is just a guessing game.
Anyhow, what I really find fascinating is how American Lithographic produced such high quality (complex) Sports and Non-Sports cards more than a Century ago.
Listed here, are the guys in this group of 37, who Retired or were Traded just prior to (or during) the print run of these T206's....circa Spring of 1910.
