A lot of the T206 portraits are older shots. For instance, the Lucky Wright picture is actually a picture of Eugene Wright from a 1903 Horner photo. The Otto Krueger is a 1904 photo and it's actually supposed to be Art Kruger, who was playing for Columbus at the time. So both of those cards showed the wrong player and used much earlier photos

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.
