Hi Jim,
I was looking at your great multi-player Dietsche card again - maybe it was like the FIRST prototype CHECKLIST created for a card set...
Although the cards were offered as a set by mail, they were apparently offered individually at the World Series.
The original cards had the info on the back, so they would have needed names written on the front to know what was included in a set for 25 cents. Of course to be consistent, they would have probably wrote a narrative on the back introducing the team...
I believe it is the 1909 Dietsche set that has names printed on the front, but they don't match the print format of your card.
Great card - Great find!!!
