ChiSoxFanWhile doing some research on the players in the T206 set, I came across the ELLAM, Nashville card. According to various sources it is Roy Ellam.
However, while looking at the SABR minor league database there was no Roy Ellam playing for Nashville during 1909-1912. The other players in the T206 listed with Nashville are on the roster. Roy Ellam did play for Nashville but it was not until 1916-1920, well after T206 was finished.
While during further research, I did find that Roy Ellam played for Birmingham (SL) in 1909-1915. Also during 1909 he played for the Cincinnati Reds.
So, should Roy Ellam have been listed with Birmingham (ELLAM, Birmingham) in lieu of Nashville for the T206 set? I have not been able to find anything that would suggest that Roy was with the Nashville team for a short while and to have never played a game so his T206 card would have Nashville has the team's city.
Does anyone have any information on this? Or is it an "Uncorrected Error" card?
