My question, is there any way to date these other than a postal stamp?

I think that all of the player postcards were issued in 1907. Nearly all of the canceled examples of players that I have seen were postmarked in October of 1907. I have images of six different Cobb postcards that are postmarked. Five are from Oct 1907 and one is from Mar 1909.
I am sure that some old inventory was sold and used after 1907, but judging by the known copies, I would say that they were originally produced in 1907.
FWIW, most of the team postcards with postmarks that I have seen also date from October 1907, but I have also seen several from October 1908.
