Hi Frank - Regarding the above list and the T206 set:
Connie Mack - He definitely seems like a great candidate for the set but the explanation that makes the most sense is that he didn't give his permission to be in the set like Wagner and others.
GC Alexander - He didn't make his major-league debut until April 1911 when the set had all but concluded. In 1909 and 1910 the two minor-league associations that he played for were not included in the T206 set.
Max Carey - He didn't make his major-league debut until October 1910 after the last of the subjects for the 460 Series were selected. His minor-league affiliates in 1909 and 1910 were not leagues included in the set.
Joe Jackson - Joe seems like a great fit but was in the A's camp in early 1909 and sent down to the minors in late April of 1909 precluding him from being in the set as a southern league subject and most likely an A as well.
Harry Hooper and Bill McKechnie both could have been in the set and I don't have a good reason to say why either wasn't included.
