Hi Ted,
You make an interesting argument, and it's apparent that mistakes were made throughout the set, but very few were corrected. So, Why was Magie corrected? Probably for the same reason you came up with in the Plank Thread. Maybe the American Caramel Co complained to the ATC about the use of the Philly players they had contracts with, like Plank, and they took another look at all of the Philly cards, Nat'l and American to make sure they were in compliance. Or perhaps the sports writer who was in charge of Magee's team failed to get his consent in time, so they misspelled his name on purpose so they could claim they were confused with the other "Magie". Be well Brian
PS Or Magee was a big smoker and complained about his name being spelled wrong.
