I enjoy adding these "renamed" prewar cards when they appear and grabbed about a dozen total. Based on the new names, my theory's that the owner attended minor league or military games and kept track of those names and stats using the cards on hand. Most of them show evidence of multiple written/erased/rewritten pencil names and numbers. Now own a few dozen of them and always interested in more.
