Dan BrettaI don't know much about Tom Downey, but many players who we may not think of today as anything special were quite popular in their day for reasons other than their batting average. Could explain the reason for multiple cards of average players....?
And I don't think you can look at the T206 rendering of any player and assume that is what the uniform looked like in the photo as the T206 artists could put any uniform on any player they wished. The original picture used for Roy Ellam's T206 with Nashville shows him in a uniform from a Pennsylvania minor league team.
