1) T213-1's are actually a 1909 issue. Which would mean all team captions found on T213-1's would coincide with the player pictured actually being with that team at the time the cards were made.
2) The Coupon release simply reused an old batch of art/printing plates that were out of date at the time of production.
If they did use the old art, why? And, of course, to circle back to the topic of Ted's first post, does it connect in any way to the T206 timeline?
