One more very important point I forgot to mention in the above response to you.
The fact that Walter Johnson is not in the E90-1 set is very puzzling, as all the
other major players of that era are in this set. This has mystified many E-card
collectors over the years.

Unless.....indeed this set was issued in 1908 (instead of 1909). Walter Johnson
pitched in 14 games in 1907, his rookie year. And, in 1908 pitched in 36 games
with a 1.64 ERA, which certainly would have been significant enough for American
Caramel to have included him in the E90-1 set....that's if....it was issued in 1909.

I really think that the omission of Johnson in this set further supports the 1908
date of issue.
