I agree Leon, we don't have any proof one way or the other. I couldn't tell you if each team was issued by P & S in various years from 1868 to 1870, or if all appeared at the same time. There is virtually no documentation regarding how these were issued.
We had a thread a while ago about the Jim Creighton, which we originally assumed was issued between 1865 and 1867. Then we discovered that the address on the back dates it closer to 1870. My feeling is we don't know enough about how these were distributed.
