Leon, Kevin Struss, and I were discussing the issue dates of the M101-5 set at the National, and through the conversation, I now question whether it could have been issued in 1915. There is an Ed Rousch and a Mordecai Brown card in the M101-5 set. Both of those players were in the Federal League in 1915, and there are no Federal League cards in the set. In fact, I believe that Rousch is listed in the set with the Giants, a team that he did not play for until 1916. Based on this information, here is my new theory:

M101-5 Set - Issued in 1916
M101-4 Set - Issued in 1917

Any thoughts?
