Thanks for that Derek. It does seem that the label for Appling might be from 1932, since Appling was not even acquired by the ChiSox until late August 1930 and Cissell was the primary shortstop in 1931. This sets my research back a bit when trying to date these. I had Heinie Schuble tied to the 1929 set, for example, since that was the only year in the 1921-30 range where he played for Detroit– but now I see he was back with the Tigers in 1932. Looks like I will now have to re-examine a few of these. Thanks again, I think.
Here is a sheet from after 1921, when the players simply had a number on their base to which a corresponding label could be attached— note that someone plugged in the last guy, #14, since he is wearing a Giants uniform on a Philly sheet.
