T206 Freeman, Toledo - Team Name Printing
 
I noticed today that, unlike other T206 cards, the Freeman card's team name lettering is all the same size.

Do you know of any other T206 that stray from the normal lettering size like this?

I thought it was interesting.

Another interesting observation, Al Shaw seems to be the only St. Louis player without a period after "St" in the team name.

Another T206 anomaly......Wiltse (pitching) caption is missing a . after the "Y" in N. Y.

This is the only instance of this error in all the T206 captions with N. Y. in the caption.

Might have been a late change of team name, because he was with the Washington Senators all of 1908, and then played just 19 games with them in 1909 before leaving the team, ending up with Toledo for the remainder of their season.

What is the probable printing date of the Piedmont 350 only series? If it is sometime in later 1909, that makes it likely that these cards were in the process of production and they just didn't get the team change to uniformly match the print of the rest of the set.
