Glenn - awesome detective work and great post. I have nothing to contribute to this thread, but I love reading about these discoveries and the research put in to classify these type cards! Cool stuff!

Thank you, Derek. Here's Hollocher, who led the league in G, PA, AB, H, and TB as a rookie then retired before he ever reached the 1000 hit plateau. Odd thing about the pencil notation in the border is he played 751 games at SS and 0 games at RF. Why write on your cards if you're not going to get it right? Cliff Heathcote was patrolling RF in Wrigley at the time. Same initials as Charlie Hollocher. Coincidence, or is that what threw off the card vandal? Beats me.

Nice work. Love the type cards. Maybe the notation was kids playing a game with them and assigning a field to them? Who knows on that...
