Other than when it's actually from 1909, listing a T206 as '1909' versus '1909-11' is a commonly used conveneince. Many people, including catalogs, like a specific, space saving date. This is even true where the date(s) for an issue is unknown. SSPC is a modern example where dating is arguable-- 1975, 76 and 1975-6 are all accurate depending on the way you look at it (the issue was made in 1975, but not sold until the next year due to legal problems). Naturally, a buyer will label Brett's card as from 1976, but the seller will label it as a 75 Rookie.
