The T206 set comprises of 388 - Major League ballplayers. A breakdown of a each of the 16 team rosters will be listed here in the forthcoming posts.
The printers at American Lithograph certainly favored the NY Giants (printing 53 subjects). A number far greater than any other team in the set. Not
surprising, since American Lithographic was situated in downtown New York City (NYC). In fact, the combined representation of the three NYC teams
is 27 % of the Major League guys in this set.
