E97 C.A. Briggs Dating
Out of curiosity, the E97 CA Briggs set is generally listed as a 1909 or a 1909-10 issue. But given the fact that the Cy Young/Irv Young card has a Boston National variation, shouldn't it really be 1909-11? Cy didn't go to Boston until August of the 1911 season.
Irv did actually play on the Boston National League team as well but that was in 1908. Plus, considering the picture is the same on both cards and given that it has Cleveland and Boston variations, it would seem to be referring to Cy's stint in Boston and not Irv's.
I've looked all over but don't seem to find this argument being made, though I find it hard to believe it hasn't been before.
