Am I missing something... Cecil Ferguson is not listed on the 1905 Giants roster of which these cards supposedly picture except for one? "All cards of 1905 Champion Giants except Cubs team card"

I just assumed they were the 1906 roster when they were produced. However, calling them the "world's champions" as they were the reigning champs till someone else wins.
Fitzgerald is part of this set too, and was not on the 1905 team.

Looking at the roster you can add Henry Mathewson to the list of 1906 players not playing on the 1905 team too. No matter what the designation says, that's the 1906 team.

Back then, they referred to the team that won the WS the previous year as "World Champions". So, the 1906 Giants would be "World Champions".
Today, we'd call them "Reigning Champions". |

Several of the cards in the set depict players wearing uniforms with the words "World Champions" on them. For me that is an indication that the pics used show the 1906 team.
