Jay,

If Old Judge followed the practices of modern card companies, it would be very possible that the Spotted Tie pictures were taken in late 1886, but the cards were issued in 1887. Only players who had posed for their photos with spotted ties in 1886 would be shown with spotted ties in their 1887 cards. Do you think this scenario was unlikely back in 1886/7?
