Default Oklahoma City Indians it is then...

Frank - (Thanks for the Info!) I thought that might be the case, but I like to bounce it against the board of knowledge in case I am glossing over something. I do find it interesting that the Oklahoma cards and Oklahoma City cards appear to be errorless, meaning the word "City" does not appear to be missing or left off, but meant to be that way. As mentioned before, the centering seems right on both examples. Another caveat to stir around is I notice that some players on this team have O.C. on their jersey arm or sweater front, but others such as Nagel have O on the sleeve. (Perhaps the back of the sleeve has the C) It may be as simple as they were referred to both Oklahoma and Oklahoma City back in the day or a simple mistake of leaving off the "city" on 2 of the 5 cards.... Subtle differences, but certainly intrigue me as to why...

Jim - I agree... We know that T206 is the Monster, so I don't know what you call T210, but I find the set fascinating. Especially the unique images of players on the 51 teams represented. Variations, production levels for certain series, scarcity, among other factors keep the hook in my mouth. I have been throwing darts at this set for about 7-8 years now. Like you, scratched surface due to how large is, and I am certainly taking baby steps on it, so I don't get burned out... As FYI, I started with a team, then moved into a few more teams, then into a series, and then into 1 example of all 51 teams which I completed last summer. (That was a lot of fun, as I tried to select my favorite image/player on each team which presented modest challenges, but ultimately made for a nice grouping of 51! I will Image Event it when I get some time)
