Default T-206 Southern League Players, Were These Cards of Minor League Players
Posted By: Gilbert Maines

Is this true?
"to answer petes ?. no minor league team had any connection with a major league team till branch rickey innovated the system w/stl cards".

I am under the impression that the Brown's owner, Chris von der Ahe, also owned the Whites (a minor league affiliate). And he moved players from the Whites to the Browns during the 1880s. Several of these Whites players appear in the Old Judge set.
