Brian, that’s right, forgot about that. Do we think the black Sox seven were pulled, or did they continued to be issued in ‘21?

To me they have never seemed scarcer than any other of the cards (those that did not have a team change), so I am guessing no.

Just playing devils advocate here. I wish there was a way to distinguish which ones came out in ‘21, as those wouldn’t be playing days cards technically

If it were possible to distinguish between printings, the key would be to study any differences between the team change variations of the four players in the set that have them team name variations (Rabbit Maranville, Dave Bancroft, Bob Roth, Hugh Jennings) and if any of these slight differences in the printing of them can be seen in examples of cards in the rest of the set. I haven't noticed anything besides coloration variations, but even this possibility could be an avenue to explore.

A hypothetical example would be Jennings Tigers cards being identified to be typically seen with a deep blue background, whereas his Giants examples (which would be from the 1921 printing since he became a coach for the Giants in 1921) all seem to have a more greenish tinge. And then possibly other cards that have the same coloration variation could be tentatively identified as either a 1920 or 1921 printing.
