I think the names at the top in the ad aren't a big deal because the way the artist depicted the pack, only the tops of the cards were showing. So there was no other way to identify those two players. More interesting is that in August 1909, with that season nearly over, only the first series of 150 was being offered. Does anybody know at what point the expanded set of 350 was being advertised? And as far as 2009 being the centennial, it may not be that big a deal. I remember when 1993 was approaching I expected that the bicentennial of the first U.S coinage (half cents and large cents were the first American coins and they debuted in 1793) would be a big deal but I don't think it was. Can the T206 set be any more popular than it already is?
