Default 1908-09 BB card Wars....RAMLY vs American Caramel

Posted By: Bill Cornell

Ted -

Very plausible analysis, as usual. I do think that T204's were issued regionally - 20 years ago, many more of them would show up in N.E. than elsewhere. The Worcester/Boston connection seems obvious, given the player biographies we have now.

My purely speculative guess is that the set was intended to have more than 121 players, which is a strange number: sheets of 11x11 (= 121) seems unlikely. This may account for why Philadelphia has only Bransfield and why Pittsburgh was also completely omitted.

Washington was almost completely shut out from all E sets, with the exception of Schaefer. Perhaps it's because they stunk...
