Yes, Steve Evans is not pictured on the T206 baseball card. The T206 set, produced between 1909 and 1911, features various baseball players, but Steve Evans himself does not have a card in that particular set. The T206 set is famous for including cards of many other notable players from that era, like Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb, among others, but not Steve Evans.

Who is the player pictured on the T206 Evans card?

The T206 card that features the name "Steve Evans" actually pictures a player named Mike "Doc" Powers, a catcher for the Philadelphia Athletics during the early 1900s. This card was mistakenly labeled with the name "Steve Evans" due to an error in the printing process, leading to confusion among collectors. The image on the T206 card does not match the actual player named Steve Evans, hence the misidentification.


But wait there's more...

The T206 Powers baseball card features Charles "Boss" Schmidt, a former professional baseball catcher who played primarily for the Detroit Tigers in the early 20th century. The card is part of the famous T206 tobacco baseball card set issued between 1909 and 1911.



Who is pictured on the T206 Schmidt baseball card?

The T206 baseball card featuring Charles "Boss" Schmidt actually portrays Charles "Boss" Schmidt himself. Schmidt was a professional baseball catcher who played for the Detroit Tigers during the early 1900s. His image is featured on his own T206 card within the renowned T206 tobacco baseball card set, which was circulated between 1909 and 1911.
