Simon Nicholls
Scot is correct....Simon Nicholls Major League career ended at the start of the 1910 season, just as American Lithographic (ALC) had selected
the 66 subjects for their 350/460 series.
There is no doubt in my mind that the T206 Nicholls (with bat) card was destined for the 350/460 series. This is why ALC printed his card with
an AB 350 No Frame back.
Nicholls was a farmer from Maryland. Playing for Connie Mack's A's was convenient for him traveling from his farm. He was very unhappy when
Connie Mack traded him to Cleveland in Dec. 1909. He played in only 3 games with Cleveland in 1910 and called it quits.....which explains why
his card never was printed with 460 series backs.
