3. I believe Montreal and Toronto are the only two Eastern League teams not included in the T205 minor league subset. For those of you that know T205s well, I would be curious in hear some theories as to why.

If I may hazard a guess, and I am by no means a T205 expert, I have about 10-15 of them and really only like the minor league cards. My guess would be that the set was never completed, just basing that on the fact it says "400 designs" on the back, so it is entirely possible they planned to make more and include the teams from America's hat in the next series.
