We may just be saying the same thing in different ways.
On the original art used to produce the halftone the plates (Or in 1910, more likely a stone) yes, that was done. The picture was usually pasted to a board, then the name/team caption was pasted under it, not usually overlapping, as that would show up on the halftone and need to be fixed (Or not on some cards from other series) but close enough for our purposes.
The black plate would then have the pictures with the name and team captions under them, all on one plate.
Other things intended to print in black would have been hand painted onto the original photo, but it would still all be on the same plate that printed all the black.
