Lots of sets have been assigned erroneous dates over the years. I imagine that when the hobby pioneers were researching hundreds of sets that they guesstimated the years for many based on a cursory look at the players. The subsequent guides, publications, grading companies, etc., copied that misinformation and most of it was not corrected until collectors did more thorough research on a particular set. |
Thanks, Kevin. It’s easier to understand for the older issues, but I would have thought that the date for something more recent like SSPC would have been nailed down from the start. Oh well. Thanks for the info.
