My Fonseca is labeled as “35 years old”. There was a thread on this a little back in 2003 that I found searching the forum. Was that a gimmicked card that was issued later or purposely low-printed? Never hear it talked about on these boards.

The Diamond Stars were issued from 1934 to 1936, and many of the same card numbers were issued multiple times with different information on the back depending on the year they were issued. For the Fonseca, it either says 34 years old or 35 years old in the bio information at the bottom depending on if it was issued in 1934 or 1935. I'm not sure why the population count is so low.
