Why didn't Babe Adams get a T206 card?
 

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>The guy started and won three games for the Pirates in the 1909 World Series against Ty Cobb's Tigers, pitching 3 complete games, one of which was a shutout, with an ERA of 1.33.<br /><br />The only explanation that makes sense to me is that the American Tobacco Company made up its mind prior to the 1909 season, Mr. Adams' rookie year, who would appear on the T206 cards. But weren't other new players added after 1909?
