However, the set also includes another white, ad-backed silk using the exact same Tony Smith image and name, but this time showing his team as the Boston Rustlers. This is an uncorrected error as Tony Smith never played for the Boston Rustlers, but my guess has always been that someone putting the set together to begin with mistakenly mixed-up Tony with a third different person/player named Smith, in this case Harry Smith, who did play for the Boston Rustlers in 1910. The TCDB site should list this Smith-Rustlers white silk in their Error/Variation section for this S74-1 set I would think. And here's the Baseball Reference page and image for Harry Smith as evidence and proof that a third, entirely different ballplayer named Smith existed back then.

The BBREF entry for Harry shows him with the Boston Doves in 1910, but no Smiths at all with the 1911 Boston Rustlers. Not sure of the lineage of the teams, but in either case, I added a UER note to the card.

Oh, and in regard to the previous correction TCDB made to their S74-1 set checklist in removing the five player/team silks that actually don't exist, can you let someone know they also need to change the total number of silks they show as being in the set then, from the 92 they previously listed, down to the correct total of only 87 different white, ad-backed silks in the S74-1 set? Thanks.

A change request has been submitted to adjust the set total.
