We both have agreed that it certainly appears that the designers of
the T206 set were very meticulous in keeping up with player trades,
correcting errors, and even quickly responding to Wagner's request to
drop his picture from the very first series.
Look how immediately they corrected the Magee error. So quick that the
initial "Magie" card didn't get past the very 1st series, PIEDMONT 150.
The O'Hara card was quickly reprinted to reflect his trade to St. Louis.
O'Hara the following year was sent down to the Minors, never to return to
the Majors.
Smith (Chicago) is then traded to Boston, so they reprint him with both
teams on his card. I could go on and on, you know these little subtleties
much better than I.
As a student of many BB card sets and their flaws, it utterly amazes me
how well designed and virtually flawless the cards of the T206 set are.
So, 1st....I cannot accept that they incorrectly labelled the Joe Doyle card.
And, 2nd....If they did, they would have immediately corrected it.
Hence. we would have a 3rd - Joe Doyle card with "N.Y. AL" on it.
