I have a simple answer to why there are so many players missing in this set that were in the T206 and T205 sets.
Recall my comments from my initial post in this thread......
"I have always thought that this set was not printed by American Lithographic. In fact there is another 1912 set
that closely resembles (front & back) the T207 set, and that is the Imperial Tobacco (C46) set issued in Canada.
I'd say that these two sets were produced by the same (unknown) printing firm."
This would explain the missing stars and other guys in the T207 set, which were in the 2 preceding T-sets. Since,
the new printers most likely did not have the Rights to portray these players.
If my theory is correct, I sure wish we could discover who printed the T207 cards ?
