T206Collector...who would confuse some scrub minor leaguer with a bona fide star in Magee?
Moreover, it's a common spelling error -- the sound "ee" at the end of words is usually completed with a "y" or an "ie". So, that is really the most likely explanation. The fact that they didn't correct any other names is really not persuasive as to why they corrected this one -- they did change Demmitt's and O'Hara's teams and they did take Nat'l away from a few Doyles, so corrections were clearly made, in addition to Magie.
The simplest explanation is some guy caught it -- maybe he was a Magee fan -- and he decided to fix it. Simple enough.
