It was a common practice of the period.
Thanks Jaybird. Have been collecting memorabilia for 45 years, but have never even dabbled in photos, so know zero. Hope I haven't wasted people's time. I am aware that the early 1900s were a time with hundreds if not thousands of organized and professional teams, so it makes sense that there may be many, many thousands of these types of photos. Are they worth anything?
