I'm curious as to who and how they came up with that year for Red Border and Tin Top Colgan's. I would guess the earliest both of these sets were released was 1911 based on some players who only played in 1911 for a certain team...and as late as 1913 they were still updating players with their new teams. Red Ames was traded to the Cincinnati Reds on May 22, 1913 and he appears in the Tin Tops set with the Reds...you would have to figure that it took them a month at the earliest to get that card out so by mid 1913 they were still updating.
