Default Why the scarcity of certain T206 Southern Leaguers ?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

The Smith image in the T206 set was drawn in early 1909 when American Litho. had a photo of Smith
in a fielding pose.

By sometime in the Summer of 1910 they had a batting photo of him and used it, instead of the fielding
image. No different than what they did with many of the repeated Subjects in the T206 set as each
subsequent Series was designed.

I don't have many T210's and T211's to compare with T206's....it would be interesting to note the dif-
ferences. Since, the T206 images are artwork and the other two set's images are black & white photos.
