Default T206 Collins (hoping this is not way OT)
Posted By: Jason Carota

I just came across this card on the Bay tonight:



Topps labeled the card as "Jimmy Collins Phila. Amer." Isn't the player pictured actually Eddie Collins? There are two Jimmy Collins I know of. One is pictured here:



The other did play for Philadelphia at the end of his career, yet he spent most of his time in Boston (including the 1903 WS against Pittsburgh.) As-far-as I know, his playing days ended after Philadelphia in 1908, therefore, there would not be a T206 featuring him.

Am I correct guessing that Topps mislabeled their card?
