Greg - Beautiful composite! That example is the only 1909 Philadelphia AL team that I have seen. The W601 Team Composites were issued after the end of the season. I would assume that Jackson's E90-1 card was issued sometime during the 1909 season. His Colgan's Chips card was not issued until after he was traded to Cleveland.
None of the Sporting Life Team Composites are easy, but the ones from the later years (1907 on) are extremely difficult to find when compared to their earlier sets (1902-06).
Congrats on a great pickup.
