AlexThe New York American League team in the 1911 T205 set is shown as being the "New York Yankees". According to baseball-reference.com, this team was known as the "New York Highlanders" from 1903 until 1912; the name was changed to the "New York Yankees" in 1913.

Also, the Brooklyn National League team in the 1911 T205 set is shown as being the "Brooklyn Superbas". baseball-reference.com shows that they were only known as the "Brooklyn Superbas" during the years 1899-1910 and 1913.
Los Angeles Dodgers (1958 - present)
Brooklyn Dodgers (1911, 1912, 1932 - 1957)
Brooklyn Robins (1914 - 1931)
Brooklyn Superbas (1899 - 1910, 1913)
Brooklyn Bridegrooms (1888 - 1890, 1896 - 1898)
Brooklyn Grooms (1891 - 1895)
Brooklyn Grays (1885 - 1887)
Brooklyn Atlantics (1884)
I could understand the use of "Superbas" in the 1911 T205 set if the cards were printed in late 1910 or early 1911 before the name was officially changed to the "Dodgers", but why would it show "New York Yankees" on the T205 cards if they were issued in 1911?
Was the T205 set actually issued in 1913?
