Jay is correct that most teams used several names. The Dodgers from 1910 to 1930 had at least five nicknames including the Dodgers, the Trolley Dodgers, the Robins, the Superbas, and the Supers...

As to the date of the T205 set it is pretty accurate. It is definitely printed in 1911. This is established in that Addie Joss died in April of 1911 as noted on his card. The other way to date the set is the trades that were included in the set including the Shean/Graham Cubs/Rustlers trades. Graham was traded midseason between the two teams and was out of baseball by 1912.

Also, many of the card backs talk about the last season statistics and accomplishments, not to mention the printed stats only go until 1910.
