I don't have the Sept 1909 issue of Baseball Magazine, but am quite confident that it contains an ad for poster #2 of Honus Wagner.

The reason for my confidence is based on two factors, if you looked closely at the Aug 1909 ad for the Ty Cobb poster, it announces "next month Honus Wagner", and the Oct 1909 issue contains the ad for poster #3 of Harry Lord.

In addition to picturing the new poster, each monthly ad mentions the player who will be featured on the next poster, so the Nov 1909 issue containing the ad for poster #4 Frank Chance isn't a surprise, and neither is the Dec 1909 ad for poster #5 Hughie Jennings.

Also, there is a running list of the posters that have been issued in each ad.

So, at the end of 1909 we see that all four posters listed in the Standard Catalog as being issued in 1910 were actually issued in 1909, with Harry Lord thrown in for good measure. Poor Harry isn't listed in the catalog as ever having a poster issued, but there it is.

And, there are more surprises yet to come...
