Kevin, the 1932 date on the set is demonstrably incorrect. It is a 1933 set.



The biography back states that Lefty won the 1932 bating title and that he is 36 years old. Lefty was born March 4, 1897. To be 36 years old as of the time the bio was written, the card had to be issued no earlier than March 4, 1933. There are other examples as well, like Grove and Gomez. It would also make the 1933 Goudey Gomez into a RC as well.

I brought this to the Standard Catalog people a long time ago but it never got traction, apparently, because the TPGs still mislabel them.
