Some govt agency around the turn of the century proposed that the H be dropped from cities ending in burgh. It is my understanding it never fully caught on in Pgh and eventually the H was added back. I guess the card makers got caught in the confusion.
It's a pet peeve of mine to see the H left off in modern times.

I am no expert on T216s, but aren't the Kotton backs a 1914 issue? If so, do you find the "Pittsburg" spelling on those backs or is it exclusive to the 1911 Mino backs?

Well, I've always wondered what the deal was with the "H". I learned something today (and forgot three other things).

The 1887 Old Judges use "Pittsburg" while the 1888 & 1889 cards are fairly evenly split between "Pittsburg" and "Pittsburgh". There are some 1888 and many examples of 1889 cards in which the same pose can be found with both spellings.

It is interesting that the E254 Colgan's Chips set, which straddles the end of era of the 'official' name change, has many Pirates cards that can be found with both spelling variations.

Gee, bring on the Browns. Love beating them twice a year.

Even though you don't care, others do. The "H" was restored, in part anyway, through the influence of Pittsburgher Andrew Carnegie, a good Scot who liked things to stay the way they were in his home country. Edinburgh and all.

By the way, what ever happened to the "A" in Cleaveland?
