We know based on team changes that some of the Pirate cards were printed well after the T206 set ended.

Neal Ball
In the T206 set his team designation is Cleveland and in the Pirate set it’s Boston American. Ball was purchased by Boston from Cleveland June 25, 1912.

Solly Hofman
In the T206 set his team designation is Chicago Nat’l and in the Pirate set it was updated to Pittsburgh. Hofman was traded to Pittsburgh from Chicago on May 30, 1912.

Harry Krause
In the T206 set his team designation is Philadelphia Amer. and in the Pirate set it’s Cleveland. Krause was sold from Philadelphia to Cleveland in July 1912.

Lefty Leifield
In the T206 set his team designation is Pittsburgh and in the Pirate set it’s Chicago Nat’l. Leifield was traded from Pittsburgh to Chicago May 30, 1912.

Barney Pelty
In the T206 set his team designation is St. Louis Amer. And in the Pirate set it’s Washington. Pelty was sold by St. Louis to Washington June 11, 1912.

These team changes are what makes this card perplexing to me. If the team caption was a carry over from the T206 set it would simply be Boston Amer. If it was updated like the Red Cross T215-1 Harry Lord it would be Chicago Amer. If the captions were reversed with the Boston faint and the Chicago bold, it would make more sense to me. But the Chicago update being faint, and the original Boston being bold is confusing.

Here are the links to the two I believe you're referring to:
