This is especially interesting as the backs of the T205s advertise "400 Designs" which, of course, is far greater than what was actually produced. I am aware of the many theories as to why this discrepancy exists, but I can't help but to wonder if Blair, Devlin, and Wood (along with many others) were at some point intended to be a part of the T205 set and somehow snuck into the T202s.
Great research as always, Brian!

Actually Devlin is in the T205 set, just not as a Rustler, a team he did not join until 1912. I don't know about Wood, but Blair likely was not intended for a T205 release because he had only played 6 games in the Bigs during 1910. Catching half the games for NY in 1911 probably earned him a spot in T202, but ironically, he was sent to Rochester after the 1911 season as his T202 card notes, so arguably he belongs in neither set.
