you can statistically, but if some/several of the 350/460 PB cards appeared 5 times then the O'Hara and Demitt showing 5
times doesn't prove they are 350 only cards."
This argument of yours, Matt, is not a statistically valid one.
Incidently......
The range of the 350-only PB cards in these surveys was from 1 to 8.
The range of the 350/460 PB cards in these surveys was from 4 to 23.

Now, I have a very serious a question for you......
If these two St. Louis variations were printed in the 350/460 series, then why aren't they identified with their respective
Eastern League teams ?
Remember, the 350/460 subjects were not available until the Summer/Fall of 1910.

Hey Ted - thanks for checking. I'm not sure what you mean "it's not a statistically valid" argument? Let me explain - you said that 350/460 series PB cards averaged 7.4 appearances in your study and because Demitt and O'Hara only presented 5 times, that means they are 350 only series (which averaged 4.8). But with the informaiton you just provided, that some cards we KNOW to be 350/460 cards showed up only 4 times in your survey, O'Hara and Demitt showing up 5 times can't prove they are 350 only cards. Make sense?
As far as your question regarding why the T206 printers might not have made a team change on those cards, I thought (perhaps incorrectly) that there are (several) other instances of players changing teams or retiring between 1909-1911 where the team change is not reflected on their T206 cards.
