Were the T210's actually a 1910 issue or were they issued in 1911?

I completely agree about having an open mind. Raise questions and try to figure them out is the best we can do. In my opinion, I just see more evidence towards T210 being a mostly 1910 distribution and I think there is a good chance the "Texas League baseball players" is a solid clue.

Thanks for sharing that link. There seems to be something interesting going on, especially with the Texas League P350s.

I know one thing with absolute certainty. I would have been completely pissed off if I was told I was getting Texas League cards and then there were only 6 of them and I only had a 12.5% chance of getting one. I would have been switching brands.

Since this is essentially an Old Mill discussion, and these nuggets of information are intertwined, do you have an opinion on the third version of that Old Mill ad from Hawaii? Maybe there are other locations, but haven't seen them. I'm sure you're aware of this version. I believe it ran for a decent amount of time in the summer of 1911. It removes the mention of baseball pictures, but still shows T206 inside an Old Mill pack. A case of false advertising or do you think it's connected to something? One of the regular OM print runs maybe?
