Lee Quillen T206 Image Question

[SethY]

I just purchased this card on the B/S/T and I can't wait to receive it in the mail. I also can't wait to ask the question I have about it! I did my research through the search feature of this site and also as much as I could on Google, but was unable to find an answer.

According to every resource I have located, Lee Quillen only spent 2 seasons in the major leagues and those were with the Chicago White Sox. I know he was BORN in Minnesota but that does not mean he played for any Minneapolis franchise. Can anyone explain the reason as for the Minneapolis being printed across his jersey in the portrait?

Maybe this is something I am completely missing but I did enough research to affirm my suspicions! Can anyone explain this oddity? Or is it not an oddity at all?

No oddity. Quillen was with the minor league Minneapolis Millers in 1909. I think Jimmy Collins was their manager. Pretty sure Collins is shown with them in the set.

Gosh how could I miss the minor league page! I knew it couldn't be an error and like I said before I was sure I missed something. Thanks guys!

First off,congrats on the card Seth-nice back too!!!
I also have a Quillen card,and have attached photo of it.I have a question for the board regarding this,please help if you can.
As you can see,BVG graded this card,and says the Quillen is supposed to be spelled "Quillin".
Every book I have looked into says it's spelled Quillen,including the Beckett Almanac.
So,does anyone know which is right??
Thanks for any help-Sincerely,Clayton

I am unsure of your question but it seems that the blue background on your Quillen is much lighter than the one I have incoming. I think I read about this before. If anyone has information on that now I would be interested.
