I wasn't questioning the cards, just the date attributed to them, based on Vance's name being used. It is most unlikely a guy who was out with a bad arm for a couple of years would have had his name in a set like that. As far as tne northwest/PCL connection, nice idea but doesn't fit the facts. Vance was with Memphis then New Orleans in 1920 when he had an arm injury and an operation. Vance spent 1921 with New Orleans in the Southern Association. Vance went 21-11 in 1921 and was bought by the Dodgers.

Gandil wasn't really disgraced until the summer of 1921, when the Black Sox trial took place. Prior to that he was out of the majors because he could not reach a financial accord with the Sox and went home to California.
