Default Interesting Old Judge Pickup

I recently picked up this card from Rob (thanks Rob) in the BST section. As can be seen below, above the image is the team name--Boston. I have never seen an Old Judge before with this format. I checked Lew Lipset's Encyclopedia of Baseball Cards and found that this card is the fourth from the left in the top row of 1887 Boston sheet #8. This made me think that perhaps on Series B 1887 cards the team name is located in this position. Sure enough, I found an image of a Wahington sheet, and as can be seen from the second image, this is where the team name is printed. This is a set that always provides new things to learn.
