Thanks, Bob, that's a fantastic provenance, and thanks also for helping me understand the notations!
Definitely some stories on the back of that card; I hadn't realized that Sugden was a regular on the 134-loss Cleveland Spiders, or that "DET 12" was due to coming out of retirement for the 24-2 beating the Tigers took when the players went on strike after Cobb's suspension.
