It doesn't matter to me either, but please point out where the newspaper clips indicate a 1911 release date. I have not gone back to review the entire thread but I seem to recall that you based your theory on the verb tense of one word in one clipping--the use of "appears" instead of "appeared". Mickey Mantle both appears and appeared in the 1961 Topps set, but the cards were released in the past regardless of my choice of verbiage on that now.
