The list on the back of the 30 different subjects and the 3 variations is identical. For examples the Nichols (Philadelphia) or
(Cleveland) variations is Cleveland. And, Cy Young (Boston) or (Cleveland) variations is Cleveland.

This set is catalogued as a 1909-1910 set. My take on it is...in terms of the back of these cards...it is strictly a 1910 issue.

I base this on the fact that Nichols was traded to Cleveland in Dec. 1909; therefore, the E97's cards were issued in 1910.


Furthermore, Sullivan is listed in the Standard Catalogue as Dennis Sullivan....he is actually Billy Sullivan.

Trivia......Billy Sullivan is first in MLB history to...... ?

The image on the E97 is of Dennis W. Sullivan when he played with the Boston Americans (BA) in 1907. He last played for Boston in 1908 and appeared briefly with Cleveland in 1909. Briggs apparently noticed Sullivan playing for the Chicago White Sox in 1910 and corrected the caption accordingly, not realizing this was Billy Sullivan, who never played for the Boston Americans, though he did break in with the Boston National League club in 1899 and 1900.
