Check out these T213-2 "error cards".....Show & Tell us about your T213's

I can't tell who the card is above Donlin--whether Hummell or Rucker. I do not believe Marquard is found with a Brooklyn Nat. designation--just Brooklyn only.

The Donlin .300 card you show is from either 1914 or 1915. I will stick to my earlier comment that it is more likely 1915. Your Donlin is not from 1916 because of the Brooklyn Nat card above it--I believe in 1916 the Brooklyn only caption was used, since the Fed Lg was kaput and there was no longer any need to distinguish Brooklyn ballclubs (which also explains Marquard, who didn't play for Brooklyn until late 1915).

Here are some more pics of the captions. It looks like the caption at the top of the T213-2 Donlin .300 batter card is " Rucker, Brooklyn Nat."... if so, then I guess the Donlin .300 hitter card was issued in 1914 and/or 1915, that's why there are more of them around than the Donlin NY cards...

After having given this a lot more thought, Rucker makes more sense to me....just as you guys are saying.

Donlin and Rucker were in the 350/460 series press runs of the T206 issue. Therefore, they were printed on the same sheet.
Hummel & Marquard were printed on 460-only series sheets; therefore, the card above the Donlin (.300) could not be them.

T213 cards were produced from the same printing plates used for the fronts of the T206 series. The T213-2 set comprises of
114 different subjects from the following three series of the T206 production......

Subjects....Series

46 ........ 350-only
40 ........ 350/460
28 ........ 460-only

114

And, of course the TEAM variations of certain subjects increases the total number of cards for a complete set to 188 (or so).
