Just to throw a minor wrinkle in the dating of the set. I believe updates may have been made into the 1930s, perhaps as late as 1932-33.
Evidence:
Appling appeared in a whopping 6 games for the Sox in 1930 and I doubt he was already batting 5th.
Could his inclusion in the set push the date (for some teams/players, at least) beyond the commonly accepted end date of 1930?
For what it’s worth, Appling’s earliest card is generally believed to be from the 1932-33 W573 set.

This die-cut would almost certainly pre-date that one unless these were issued even later than 1932. Dating of sets is sort of important to some of the crazy HOF rookie/earliest card collectors out there. You guys know anyone out there with that interest?? If so, take note of this thread/post!
