They only wore this style of "B" in 1908 - Charlie Starr only played for the Boston team in 1909 - the t206 artist got it wrong...link to - Boston Doves Primary Logos - sportslogohistory.com/boston-doves-primary-logo Charlie Starr was traded from Boston in July of 1909 to Philly and didn't play again in the majors after the 1909 season yet he is in the T206 / 350 / 1910 series and as a Boston player.

Charles Watkin Starr (b. August 30, 1878 in Pike County, Ohio - d. October 18, 1937 in Pasadena, California at age 59) was a Major League Baseball infielder. He played parts of three seasons in the majors, mostly as a second baseman, for the St. Louis Browns, Pittsburgh Pirates, Boston Doves and Philadelphia Phillies.

A journeyman second baseman, Charlie Starr played for four teams in three seasons. He never batted over .222, and his on-base percentage was an anemic .315. He was also considered a mediocre infielder who didn’t have a lot of tools, but he was one of the fortunate ones that made it to the big leagues.

After his three seasons in the majors, Starr moved on to play in the minors, first as shortstop for two seasons for the Buffalo Bisons of the Eastern League and then as second baseman for the Mobile Sea Gulls, the New Orleans Pelicans, and the Chattanooga Lookouts in the Southern Association. He was player/manager for the Little Rock Travelers of the Southern Association for three seasons before retiring in 1917. He hit .253 in 3,906 at bats over his nine seasons in the minors.
