T-201 minor leaguers

[Marslife]

Hey Ed,

I do share your love of the lowly double folders!

if you can find it check out fellow member Mike Wheat's article on the t201's:

Old Cardboard Magazine, Issue #31 (Spring 2014), p. 30-36

Hopefully he will chime in on the post.

from the article:

"Player representation in the set seems to reflect the growing NYC market, which accounted for 25% of national cigarette sales in 1910.... cards from 11 minor league franchises are found in the set. These include six cards (12 players) from Eastern League Teams and 5 cards (10 players) from the American Association. The 6 Eastern League teams represented in the set were the Baltimore Orioles, Buffalo Bisons, Jersey City Skeeters, Newark Indians, Rochester Broncos and the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The 5 cards from the American Association include players from the Columbus Senators, Indianapolis Indians, Kansas City Blues, Milwaukee Brewers and the Toledo Mud Hens..."

cool stuff!
