Is it known that only those 6 players were distributed in Texas? Or would your odds be 6/48(12.5%) to get a Texas League card? Why the sudden need to switch from "baseball pictures" to "Texas League baseball pictures" in the middle or end of an advertising campaign to highlight 6 cards only in Texas?
Edit to add: I found that September 28 "baseball pictures" ad now. So we have "baseball pictures" from early March 1910 through late September 1910 and "Texas League baseball pictures" from early September 1910 through early December 1910. The questions above still remain.

I don't have an answer if only Texas League players were distributed in Texas Trey but there were 26 different style ads and both the baseball player an Texas League ads were the same except the wording and both ads show t206 cards.
Here's a picture of one pair and a thread I started on them.

I'm not saying this is definitive proof that the T210's were distributed in 1911 but I try to keep an open mind when doing research. On more than one occasion dates that started out as estimates and eventually were taken as facts have been proven incorrect and I think the newspaper articles and the known dates of the Old Mill distribution of the T206's is enough evidence to question the dates on the T210's.
