AFAIK, the New York Highlanders were also referred to as the Yankees from basically from their inception. Supposedly their proper name was too long for newspapers, etc. maybe they did not formally adopt the name until 1913, but they were definitely also known as the Yankees before then.
I think that the reason why the T205 set has always been dated as 1911 is because the last line of stars on the back of the cards is 1910.

Agreed. Also, note the many other issues that carried the Yankee reference in the 1910-12 time frame--p2 pins, px7 discs, and s74 silks come to mind. In fact Lee, your beloved T202s also pre-date the 1913 decision to "officially" call the team the Yankees.

Furthermore, dates on the Minor Leaguer's bios suggest to us that T205's were printed as late as the Fall of 1911.     TED Z T206 Reference .

Also the Addie Joss card wouldn't make much sense in any other year.
