Default 1909-1911 players who didn't get their own T206 card?

Posted By: Cy


Although it would be nice to have a T206 Smokey Joe Wood card or a T206 Joe Jackson card, if you check their stats prior to 1911, neither was a standout. Jackson had a good 1910, but only batted 75 times. Joe Wood didn't become a 20 game winner until 1911. These facts might be the reason they weren't on a T206 card. They probably weren't stars until after the set was finished. And Jimmy Austin (my favorite interview on the Glory of Their Times CD) was a nobody in 1909-1910.
