And I shall talk about Diamond Stars.
To me it always seemed the 1934 Diamond Stars green backs, which are card #'s 1 through 24 that have both a 1934 copyright date AND 1933 stats (with the exception of the #7 card of Lew Fonseca, which can be identified as a 1934 release instead of 1935 based upon his age listed in the biographical text - '34 years old' vs. '35 years old').
These 24 1934 cards have always seemed to me to be a little tougher to come by in comparison to the 1935 green back versions of cards 1 to 24.
Only nine cards in the set were issued in all three years (card numbers 2, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10, 12, 16 and 22). Shown below are the three back versions for card # 4 Buddy Myer:

Cards shown on left are 1934 issued, in center 1935 issued, and 1936 on right.
