That T213 depicts him with Cleveland and the caption says Philadelphia Americans...

Cleveland released Lajoie to the Athletics on Tuesday, January 5, 1915.

So that T213 had to be printed AFTER that date. Makes me wonder about SGC's 1914 designation. Mr. Lipset's Encyclopedia says 1914 to 1916, and the type 2 series has 2 Lajoie's, one with a Cleveland caption, the other with Philadelphia American. So it would seem that the Cleveland captioned cards were the first of the bunch, and that those with the Philadelphia caption came later...


To answer your question, Philadelphia.
