This question came up some years ago on the non-sports side. Here are a couple pics showing artwork for the N2 Allen & Ginter Indians issues in 1887 (about 20/50 have been identified). These are amazing and I would imagine that artwork from 1909 baseball players should be out there. I'm surprised it isn't already known.
