The pose is identical to the Collins from E93 Standard Caramel, generally accepted as a 1910 issue. Jimmy Collins last played for the A's (and in the Major Leagues) in 1908, which was also the first year Eddie Collins played in over 100 games for the A's.

In all likelihood this is one of those cases where the manufacturers wanted to put in a card of Eddie Collins, as he was the emerging star (21 in 1908) and not the decrepit old man (38 in 1908), but used their standard image of the latter.

Just my opinion.

I don't have in front of me, does E93 have a first name on the back checklist?
