Overall, it appears that the T206 designers kept up with the trades, retirements, and caption corrections
of the prominent players (e.g., George Brown(e), Lundgren, Magie, Frank Smith).
And, the New York players....
Demmitt, Joe Doyle, Dahlen, Donlin, Elberfeld, Kleinow, and O'Hara. This latter group playing in NYC where
Amer. Litho. (ALC) was based; therefore, updating their changes sooner than others.

I can understand your curiosity as to why a lot of the players you listed didn't have 2nd cards reflecting
their changes. One factor I've noticed regarding guys like Byrne, Campbell, Charles, Rossman, etc. is that
they were not printed on many of the various T-brand backs, that other 350-only cards are found with. I
would say that there just was too many trades going on to keep track of. So, as I said, ALC was quite se-
lective in who they chose to print a "traded" card of.

Yes, as you said Demmitt and O'Hara are the best examples. Here are their subsequent T-cards when they
were playing in the Eastern League.






Wishing you a very Merry Christmas
