It just shows that THIS particular cigar box is from 1919 and is therefore no different than the Sweet Caporal cigarette packages that were sold in 1919 ... many years AFTER the time in which they contained baseball cards.
The presence of a 1919 Sweet Caporal package obviously doesn't mean that they issued the T206 Sweet Caporal cards in 1919. It just means the package is 10 or more years "newer" than the ones that contained baseball cards.
The other known Reccius box does NOT contain any such stamp, so it shows that these cigars were around before these dates.
PSA authenticated and dated the card... and they stand behind their research.
