I hope you continue with your research, and would like to know more about the journal entries, especially as relates to S74 and H801-7. Also, is there any mention of either the P2 pins or PX7 disks?

Unless I'm missing something the only thing I can find that was used for the 1910 date for the T210's is the teams that the players are depicted on and to me that's not that strong of a case.
In each series the T206 players are depicted on the teams they played on the previous year from when that series was distributed.
Using the print group 2 350 only subjects as an example we know they were distributed in the summer of 1910

I just used the A-B subjects to make this chart but with just those few examples you can see they used the teams from the prior year on the cards.

You can date an earliest release of a card by the players teams but you can only assume how late they were released. From what I've seen it wasn't that uncommon to have cards of players that were on a team the previous year from the actual distribution date.
On Stengel's T210 his team is Maysville they weren't relocated from Shelbyville to Maysville until August 24 1910.
