Were the T210's actually a 1910 issue or were they issued in 1911?

Here's a picture of Anderson from May 1912 I'm not good at picture comparisons but it doesn't look like the person on the T210 to me.

Wingo Anderson did not represent Nashville in T210-8. Below is a picture of the right handed C.A. Anderson that represented Nashville in T210-8. He likely had a contract signed with Nashville in 1909 and was already gone from the team by 4/10/1910. He is not part of the first 24 in T210-8, which includes all of the T206 images, but he is in the first 75 which corresponds with the T211 set. Kelly and Welf that are mentioned in the last clipping are also in the first 75 and departed Nashville at the same time as Anderson. All of the Nashville subjects were in the first 75 and only three were in the first 24 which would be Harry Bay, Bill Bernhard, and Hub Perdue. Bay, Bernhard, and Perdue all played for Nashville in 1909 and their T210-8 cards used the same image as T206. Once again, indications towards early 1910.

For the pictures Trey not the distribution of the cards.

Sure, we will likely never be able to eliminate the possibility that a large number of players that were cut before the 1910 season were distributed in 1911. It's technically possible, sure. Likewise, it's technically possible that T210 distribution started in 1909. Realistic? Not in my opinion, but possible.

Looks like C.A. Anderson. I have the T210 and T211.

Very nice red and green borders, Rob. Here is an image that shows the contingent of Anderson, Kelly, and Welf that left Nashville for Greenwood. They are shown in this image from The Commercial Appeal 5/2/1910. Certainly some lesser known players, but that makes T210 interesting.
