Then the 1915's, and the 1916's are generally the toughest. If you look at the type 2 players in "Baseball Reference, you will come across players who never played for the team that is shown on the caption of the card, and these tend to be the later issues of Type 2. For instance, Jeff (Ed) Sweeney Played for New York from 1908 - 1915, and his Type 2 captioned New York Amer. is pretty common. He also has a Type 2 that is captioned Richmond, but as far as I can tell, he never played for Richmond. He was playing in Toledo in 1916. The Richmond version of his Type 2 is a tough one to find.
I am not an expert on this set and there are several people on this board who are much more knowledgable that I am who may be able to contribute more info. |
Hi Rick
Well said.....and, here are two more T213-2 cards with wrong teams.
Ed Summers' Major Lge. career ended in 1912 (his pitching arm was no longer effective).
Germany Schaefer switched to the Federal Lge. in 1915 playing for Newark (not K.C.).
