Here are a few, from a previous post by MARK. I suspect there will be dozens more as everyone reads the book. But again, remember, Upton Sinclair was not an expert on meatpacking:

....I have already found several errors that will really irritate vintage card collectors. At one point, they mention that three players in the T206 set were in the first class of the Hall of Fame - Wagner, Cobb and Johnson. Matty was left out. However, later on, they made it up to Matty by including him in the T204 set! Not only that, there are also, apparently, in existence T204 cards of Cobb, Young and Lajoie. What a scoop! You Ramly collectors have four more cards to find than you thought.


My favorite part, so far, is when they refer to Alan Rosen as the hobby's first celebrity. Whatever.

Oh, as a T3 collector, I have to throw this in. On page 40, it is stated that the cards were redeemed for coupons. I'm pretty sure it was the other way around.
