Andy CookThere are two distinct printings of these. The first in 1925 and the second in 1931. Many, but not all of the first printing cards were updated in the second series. There were no new players added in the second series. The best way to determine which printing your card is from is by the team in the caption. A couple general rules - if it's a minor league team or the position has been updated as "Former" as in "Former Catcher", it's from the second series. The second series cards are much more difficult to find than the first. Much of the checklist in SCD is based on a meeting I had with Bob Lemke at the old Richmond show about 5-6 years ago where I showed him my collection. He wrote a subsequent article in SCD and added a half dozen cards to the checklist. I think I still have one or two more in my own set that are not on the checklist.
