Though a Shoeless Joe would have sweet, indeed, I'm actually glad a lot of sets from that time are missing a major star or two. As a set collector it makes completion more financially viable
 I was aware that there were many players missing, I just thought it was curious that he wrote that the reason Wood and Blair were missing was because the photos had already been taken by 1907....a good 4 years before the set was released. The book I saw it in is a good 30 years old, so new info may have surfaced since then proving this theory wrong...

The simple solution might be that the T205 set was supposed to be bigger, and if you look on some of the backs, they say "400 subjects", which is a lot more than they actually made. Could be that they didn't get around to the other two players.

Hey guys,
Let's look at the bigger picture in 1911......1911 was a very busy year at American Lithographic, for they produced a heck of a lot of pretty looking cardboard with their Baseball and non-Sports sets. For example............ T80 Military Series (Spring 1911)....50 cards  T205 BB....208 cards  .   .  T201 MECCA BB....50 cards  Birds T42 (50 cards) and T43 (30 cards)   T77 Lighthouse cards and T205 Minor Leaguers (circa 1911 > 1912)   T99 Sights & Scenes of the World  . Plus, here are more Gold-Border Tobacco issues...... T56 Emblems....50 cards T57 Fables....100 cards T69 Historic Homes....50 cards TED Z . Last edited by tedzan; 11-13-2016 at 08:11 PM.

This thread reminds me of a movie I watched last night. Someone was looking into a mystery and a guy in the movie kept trying to misdirect them by talking about other stuff.
Can we fast forward to the end? Ted knows why Wood and Blair aren't in the T205 set! Spill it, Ted...let everyone in on the secret!

It Takes a Village Idiot
I have no real answers, but here are examples of the 3 T205 style artwork (Blair, Wood, and Killifer) that was not included in the T205 set for whatever dang reason.

Yea John I know why....but, I aint going to tell you But, why are you guys singling out Wood and Blair ? What is the more significant ? is why aren't Joe Jackson and Casey Stengel in the T205 (or T206) sets ? They are in the T210 set which was printed in 1910 ? ? Answer that one for me, will you....

It could be the lead time and other timing as well. Getting all the artwork done from an available photo would take time, and they were pretty much done with minor leaguers in T206 before 1911. Southern leaguers would probably have been set and art done before the end of 1909.
T205s ended too early for Stengel and it appears they ended T205s before they intended. Maybe there was art done, but there isn't enough minor league selection in the set to guess. Jackson moved around a lot, 08-10 he was with three different minor league teams as well as getting in a few games in the majors. It's possible they didn't have a picture they felt they could use until 1910. A total crazy guess was that they wanted to include him but the same sort of contract thing that Plank may have been involved with affected him as well. As an aside, my wifes relative started with Greenville in 1909. A fact I'm pretty happy about since that means if I find a team photo Jackson won't be in it and I just might be able to afford it.
