I totally agree. Players’ names were misspelled all of the time. Christy Mathewson had his name misspelled “Matthewson” during his prime.
The postcard that misspells Wagner’s first name as “Honas” is the one with the image from the 1909 World Series, so the earliest that it could have been produced was then.
So, it makes no sense to posit that a name could be misspelled in late 1909 and not 1910.
