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.

Pitti-full
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.

I have a Pirates team postcard from circa 1910 that has both spellings, without the "h" on the front and with "h" on the reverse.

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?
