barrysloateI know Carroll Tenney, he used to buy up every Tenney card I had, then told me he wasn't even related to him.
As Robert pointed out, Tenney's last two seasons were 1909 and 1911, and he sat out 1910. One way to look at it is he was near the end of his career during the time most of the T and E cards were issued, so that could explain the shorter print run.
On the other hand there were some 300-400 major leaguers in 1910, and only 25 to 30 made it into any of these caramel sets. Then why was Tenney included at all? There had to be several players who were more popular than him, especially since he sat out one full season.
