My opinion (for what it's worth) is that the "Groves" variation had to be around 1925 or 1926. Lefty was called Lefty GROVES in the minors (1920 to 1924), but just after he came to the majors in 1925 he was called Lefty GROVE. These die-cuts are the only cards of Lefty that have Lefty GROVES printed on it. The "Grove" variation could be anywhere between 1926/27 and 1930.
