Jay MillerThat type of notation appears on many St Louis White cards with each player having a different number:
Staley: B.5.
Cantz: B.6.
Nyce: B.7.
Nicholson: B.8.
Alcott: B.9.
Burch: B.10.
Kenyon: B.12.
Hines: B.13.
Sproat: B.14.
Loftus: B.15.
That makes it seem like 5 players are missing. There are four White's players: Beckley, Crooks, Herr and McCormack who are not known to have this type of notation on their cards. I did this quickly so I may have missed one. The bottom line is it seems to be some type of numbering system for White's players which somehow got included on the name line on some of the player's cards. Note--player's with this type of notation also have cards without the notation.
BTW, I need that pose of Nicholson and would like to trade for it if you remember who you sold it to---Thanks, Jay
