And to add on to what Jay said, it is easy to check the issue date for all but the Fonseca card by checking the year listed for the stats on the bottom, and just add a year. For example, cards that have stats for the year 1934 were issued in 1935. Since 1933 was the last year Lew was in the majors, the makers of Diamond Stars left his 1933 stats on his 1935 card, and only updated his age.
