In 1916, 1917, and 1918 he is not on the roster of the New Haven Murlins.

In 1919 he is not on the roster of the New Haven Weissmen.

And, in 1920 he is not on the roster of the New Haven Indians.

The Type 2 Coupons are full of these kinds of strange happenings, and it looks like Type 3's also have their cards with team designations that are difficult to figure out.

Chief Meyers did play for New Haven in 1919, according to Statscrew.

Yes according to Baseball Reference he played in 84 games and batted 301 with New Haven in 1919.

American Lithographic has a number of caption mistakes in their T213-2 and T213-3. I have several of them somewhere, but it's been a while since I last looked at them.

Whatever....however, they printed the Hal Chase cards correctly. Although, Chase played for Cincinnati (1916 - 1918), and I have yet to seen a T213 card indicating Cinci.

Here's a Lajoie from Rob. One of the tribute cards in the set that does not have a team in the caption. I think Lajoie last played in 1918 for Indy.

Another card of someone who had retired as Bender last pitched in 1917 (if you don't count the 1.0 IP in 1925).

Sorry guys - I think my brain is fried. When I was doing my searches, I used the caption on the card - Myers - instead of the correct spelling of Meyers.

Sorry about that!

Ed Summers with Detroit depicted on his 1910 COUPON card (as are his T206 cards).

And, here is a 1914 COUPON (T213-2) card depicting Summers with the Brooklyn Tip Tops of the Federal League.

Definitely a No-No. Summers never pitched for this Brooklyn team. As his MLB career ended with Detroit in 1912.

Rudy Sommers was a pitcher for the Brooklyn Tip Tops in 1914. I'm guessing that American Lithographic mistook
Summers for Sommers ?





Germany Schaefer played for the Washington Senators (1909-1914). During the 1915 season he played for Newark in the Federal League (not Kansas City,
as his 1914 COUPON card indicates).
