john/z28jdTed you glossed over this answer in the last thread,so ill copy and paste it.Its different examples of the same exact situation from before the t206 set was made,sets made during that time,and a set made long after. A player had his name spelled wrong and they corrected it but they didnt correct other mistakes in the following sets which is exactly what happened with Magee in the t206 set.It should also be noted that Magee's last name was spelled wrong in boxscores too including his first career game as McGee...(heres my response on jan 21st)
The old judge set has some names spelled wrong that were never right,some were corrected in the same pose and some in different poses.
The t213 set which has the same fronts as T206s has a Solly Hofman spelled Hofmann and a corrected version spelled Hofman.It also has a Kid Elberfeld spelled wrong that they never corrected
The mayo 1895 set has a Rusie spelled Russie and one spelled Rusie yet didnt correct Ed Del"e"hanty and Otis Stock"s"dale
The m101-5 set has a John Lavan spelled Lavin then corrected yet they didnt correct Del Gainor(Gainer) Harry Coveleski"e" and Charles Comiskey(Comisky)
The 1948 Leaf set has Gene Hermanski spelled wrong Hermansk and they corrected it yet they didnt bother to fix Phil Caverretta(Caveretta),Johnny Vandeermeer,Bob Elliott(Elliot)or Larry Jensen(Jansen)
Its happened before the t206 set,its happened since
