Nice work, Detectives.
The best part about Lloyd and Luyster is that they are
both on T209-2 cards.
The way this stuff usually shakes out is that if you have seemingly contradictory evidence about player identities, all of it (or some of 'all of it') is true. Thus Bourquin/Bourquise/Bourquoise/Burke probably showed up under all these names, was in camp with Bridgeport after having been photographed with a team in Fulton (maybe the minor league club in Fulton, NY), then wound up in the Carolinas. The next question of course is, why is he one of the guys in a sixteen-card set? (the answer to that one is probably the one we always overlook from our days of total-saturation info: they made a card of him because somebody had a picture of him.
Just another aspect that makes T209 (both -1 and -2) two of the weirdest sets of all-time. Just two other notes: if you google (
http://images.google.com/imgres?imgu...iIKJXQ8QaJ46hZ) "Pfeifer Fullenwider" you will find a copyright-expired photo of the guy in T209-1, wearing his uniform from Columbia of the Sally League, inside the Polo Grounds in New York. The Giants apparently drafted or bought him late in 1911 and he reported wearing his minor league uni. Never got into a big league game, but got into a spring training photo with the Giants in 1912 (and apparently actually spelled his memorable first name 'Phifer').
So I'm the lurker, now appearing under my own name. And for goodness sakes, no politics. I promise, if you won't, I won't.
