Catching half the games for NY in 1911 probably earned him a spot in T202, but ironically, he was sent to Rochester after the 1911 season as his T202 card notes, so arguably he belongs in neither set.

Yes, Devlin (Giants) is in the T205 set, but not Devlin (Rustlers). Interestingly, the other two T205 Subjects that have multiple team variations (Graham and Shean) are also both pictured with the Rustlers in one of those variations. The fact that Devlin did not join the Rustlers until 1912 further points to the possibility that there may have been many more T205 subjects (with "T205" artwork obviously completed for at least these three) that were intended to be produced later in the print run, into 1912 perhaps, but never were for whatever reason, leaving the final subject count well short of the 400 number advertised.
