You're right that it would certainly be easier to just add the year, but about the numbering system, I just feel that it's counter-intuitive to give a number to a card that is different than the number written on the card itself. I understand why it was done, but then again, it was the OJ producers who numbered the cards in the first place, just like any other set manufacturer.
