We often see threads about why certain players did not have a cards -- or about how certain cards were not produced in certain quantities based on theories about caramel and tobacco licensing and products. Well, have you ever compared the 1911 T205 checklist to the 1909-11 T206 checklist? I did this afternoon, and I have to tell you, I was quite surprised at the number of players that appear in T205 but not T206. (While we're at it, why did Burdick get to T205 before T206 if T205 came second?)
In any event, can anyone tell me if they think I got the complete list of T206 no prints from the T205 set? I count at least 32 T205ers not in T206. 1 Archer 2 Austin 3 Bailey 4 Cady 5 Corridon 6 Daubert 7 Dickson 8 Fischer 9 Flynn 10 Foxen 11 Frick 12 Gardner 13 Grant 14 Hanford 15 Harmon 16 Hauser 17 Lang(e) 18 Lee 19 Leever 20 Lush 21 McAllister 22 McConnell 23 Nee 24 Richie 25 Rowan 26 Scanlan 27 Shean 28 Simmons 29 Suggs 30 Vaughn 31 Kirb White 32 Wolter Seems to me that many of these players were already established by or in the period of the T206 run (1909-11), e.g., Leever and Wolter. And clearly each was either willing or did not successfully object to his appearance on a tobacco card. So how'd they get their mugs on T205 but not T206 -- especially if T206s were issued in 1911 along with their T205 counterpart? Obviously, the number of players in T205 was significantly limited in comparison to the T206 set. So why would approximately 1/6 of the T205 set contain entirely new players? The obvious explanations would be a combination of (a) expired/new player licenses; with (b) declining/emerging talent. Anything else?
