Most catalogs I've seen date U.S. Caramel's "Famous Athletes" set as 1932, but several card backs refer to season events FROM 1932, so could've come out in Nov/Dec at the earliest, and more likely not until Opening Day in 1933.
#5 Combs (in my post below) includes his 1932 season stats, #11 Hornsby refers to his Oct 1932 trade, #12 Cochrane includes his 1932 season stats, #23 Foxx includes his season stats, etc.

We already know U.S. Caramel severely short-printed #16 Lindstrom for that set, so there's a chance they also split-numbered the set, with half coming out in 1932 and the other half in 1933. Straddling two seasons strikes me as unlikely, though. Anyone know why this set was dated 1932?
