Magee was a star in his day, he has both an action and portait in the set. They realized they goofed the name on his portrait and fixed it. |

Whatever the reason behind its usage, Magie is not the correct spelling of Magee |

Ted you glossed over this answer in the last thread,so ill copy and paste it.Its different examples of the same exact situation from before the t206 set was made,sets made during that time,and a set made long after. A player had his name spelled wrong and they corrected it but they didnt correct other mistakes in the following sets which is exactly what happened with Magee in the t206 set.It should also be noted that Magee's last name was spelled wrong in boxscores too including his first career game as McGee...(heres my response on jan 21st) |

Are any of the spelling errors of players names that occured in the T206 set with players that had more then one card issued to them(other then Magee) My point being that Magee and other players who had multiple cards in the set were allstars and most were later HOF's. Perhaps no one really noticed or cared about misspelling a common players name but misspelling a notable players name was worth ammending. What do you think about this? |

...dismissive, but I think the simplest explanations are usually the right ones. And it is easy to create conspiracy theories when no one will ever know the truth. I believe the evidence of other players whose names were not corrected is not persuasive evidence that something magical was at work in the one player whose name was corrected -- especially since Magee was a star player at the time. And, especially when it is easier to leave errors alone. That is, it would be something if there were 8 errors and 7 were corrected, leaving just 1 alone -- especially if that one were the Magie. But in the obverse, which is what we have, it is not particularly surprising. |

Ken Burns did leave out some important jazz figures, but the footage he accumulated was substantial. He took an in depth look at Charlie Parker and Miles Davis, plus Louis and Duke, and unearthed a lot of other rare footage. So despite the omissions, I think he did a commendable job. |

There are other players with similar career stats. like Downey's, that have multi-cards in the set. |

I don't know much about Tom Downey, but many players who we may not think of today as anything special were quite popular in their day for reasons other than their batting average. Could explain the reason for multiple cards of average players....? |
