How do you explain the 48 southern league players that were included if it was a question of discrimination? The T206 set is full of "southern rubes."
The southern league players were selected from their previous seasons. The 34 included in the first run were selected from the 1908 season and printed in the summer of 1909. The 14 added were taken from the 1909 season and distributed in March of 1910.
IMO it wasn't discrimination, it wasn't an anti Joe campaign, it was timing. The facts I believe back that up.
As with any topic we can agree to disagree.
