I think the Red Border's should be cataloged as 1911 and perhaps even 1910 just by going by the Bob Unglaub card. Unglaub is shown as having 3 variations according to the open-checklist website.

He played for Washington in 1910, Lincoln in 1911 and Minneapolis in 1912. He has a card depicting all three team names in the red border set. I have seen the Lincoln card, but not the other two. Does anyone have images of him with Washington and/or Minneapolis?

I'm starting to think that all three Colgan's sets had some overlap and were available at the same time in a couple of years or perhaps just 1912. Maybe in different markets...wasn't Skydash's tin tops hoard found in Cleveland?
