Frank WakefieldTed, let me add a bit,
American Litho could quickly remove Nat'l from the brown process much easier than they could replace it with Amer., which would require a new plate. To file off the protruding "Nat'l" would have been a easy fix, maybe done by a printer / Highlander fan, who knows?
Maybe a new plate was coming around the corner... but Joe Doyle, the pitcher, wouldn't be in the majors much longer when this was happening. Joe Doyle was with the American league Highlanders/Yankees, 1906 - 1909. In 1910 he was only in 8 games, 3 for New York, then 5 for Cincinnati. His last game was June 25th, 1910... which is about series 350 time. On his way out after 75 major league games... no time for a corrected New York Amer. card. And since he was with Cincinnati so briefly, it there was no time for the issueance of a Cincinnati Nat'l card in series 350.
