Ted,
I was thinking about this just this morning. The Old Mill ads that ran in several southern and border state newspapers from February-June 1910 show the southern leaguer Juan Viola emerging from an Old Mill pack but state that two pictures of "baseball players" are included in each pack. This may suggest that big leaguers and southern leaguers were comingled in Old Mill packs. Recall that in the earlier 1909 Hindu ads, ATC was very careful to distinguish between major leaguers and southern leaguers in its advertising.
