Default T205 design vs T80 design question ?

I am one card away from (well two once I find a decently priced Cairo Monopol card) from a T80 set.

I think that the reason they did not continue with the ornate design was to possibly save money. It might also be because of the printing process. The new T205s included moveable type backs which I am sure was more expensive to produce. A simple border might reduce cost. They did go more ornate in the later minor leaguers though, so who knows.

No pics to post tonight but will try to get some tomorrow.

Hi Joshua

You are making my point here.
In early 1911, ALC started out with their artistic T80 style design; and, ended up with a similar T80 style design when they printed the T205 Minor League cards late in 1911.

What occurred between these dates, I find quite puzzling ? ?
