Nice catch Todd concerning Shawkey being identified in Type B cards as Manager. I was wondering why he was included since he stopped playing in 1927. So it seems like he was let go as manager of the Yankees shortly after the 1930 season ended. So perhaps the Type B cards were first issued in 1930, and then had a second run perhaps later in 1930 or in 1931.
And looking at the Old Cardboard site I realized that the Smead Jolley card with the print on border is not actually Type B, but Type D (because it does not have the white box).
Boy this set is more complicated than I imagined...I better back out before all of this freezes me up like a deer in the headlights.
