Actually that is how I dated it, looked at when Sharkey was champ and used those years... BTW, yes, the back of my premium looks like it was completely peeled from something. That didn't really bother me as long as the premium is real, which it is.
Thanks to those posting in this thread and sharing. Interesting stuff.

Here's a later Taub sign with baseball content:
Since it has Joe D in it twice and is titled World Series Heroes, it must date to October 1936 or later. |
