Were the T210's actually a 1910 issue or were they issued in 1911?

I look forward to your continued research, and may do more myself. Your reference to Wingo Anderson is interesting, although to take a page out of your book, there is something inconclusive there as well. First, according to Baseball Reference, Wingo Anderson stopped pitching for Cincinnati on June 1, 1910, so it is possible he signed with Nashville later that year and did not appear in a game. My first 20 minutes of research on him shows he was assigned to Dayton but refused to sign there, but I have not tracked him further.

Perhaps more importantly though, it is possible the subject named "Anderson" on Nashville in T210 (and T211-same photo) is not Wingo Anderson at all. The card depicts a right-handed pitcher in the stretch, and by all accounts I have seen, including Baseball Reference and Baseball Almanac, Wingo Anderson was a southpaw.

Todd, I agree it's possibly not him I'll check for other Andersons with Nashville in 1909-1911.

Here are all the Andersons that are listed as playing for Nashville

H. Anderson 1920
Herb Anderson 1958
John D. Anderson 1931
John M. Anderson 1929-1930
Wingo Anderson 1911

I think it's fair to assume whoever it was that put the name on the card thought it was Wingo Anderson.
