if so...this is new to me?

Here is my understanding of the Simon Nichols and Cy Young variations in the E97 set.

The A's traded Nichols to Cleveland Dec 1909.

His 1909 card depicts him with the A's. His 1910 card has him with Cleveland (note that the A's logo is seen on his sleeve in this card).
The back of these cards reflects the team on the front.


Boston traded Cy Young to Cleveland Feb 1909.

His 1909 card depicts him with Boston (front is Irv Young). His 1909/1910 card (front is Irv Young) has him with Cleveland. I have not
seen the backs of either versions of Cy Young, so I cannot say if the backs reflect Boston or Cleveland.


I hope this answers your question.

thanks ted...it does...i guess I've never looked closely at the e97 backs. I'd like to see a 1909 back that reflects this nichols, phil variation if anyone has one.

The A's and Boston variations are worth considerably more than their two Cleveland variations (Nichols and Cy Young, respectively).


I hope this answers your question.
