Default Apparent dating error in R328 Standard Catalog listing

Posted By: Hal Lewis

More evidence that the set was DEFINITELY printed in 1933:

The back of the Fred Lindstrom card (as seen in the SCD catalog) states that he was traded to Pittsburgh "at the end of the season."

That trade took place on DECEMBER 12, 1932... so the set was certainly printed a few weeks AFTER that date for sure since the type had to be set in the printing machines, etc.


Transactions:
December 12, 1932: Lindstorm was traded as part of a 3-team trade by the New York Giants to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The New York Giants sent Chick Fullis to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Pittsburgh Pirates sent Glenn Spencer to the New York Giants. The Pittsburgh Pirates sent Gus Dugas to the Philadelphia Phillies. The Philadelphia Phillies sent Kiddo Davis to the New York Giants.
