Casey Stengel is pictured in the T210 series 6 baseball card in a Maysville uniform. Maysville didn't start play in the Blue Grass league until August 25,1910 and Casey only played in a total of 69 games from 7/18/1910-to 9/18/1910 which means the photograph must have been taken between August 25 and September 18,1910. Does anyone know who took these and other tobacco card photographs? , who selected the players to be represented from each team ?, were they generally taken by the team photographer then submitted to a publisher--I love the cards and collecting them but I am also an enquiring mind and want to know about how the process worked? Any sources for answers would be appreciated. Thanks
