Default Verstappen

Seen these Max Verstappen German Top Trumps dated as 2016 by SGC. I appreciate that SGC is grading these non-English issues, but wish they put a little more research into the dating.

The pose and the text (in German) is the same as the 2016 English Top Trumps that is accepted as his Rookie card, but the overall design, and the stats on the front are different.

Stats match what they would be after the 2016 season ended at the end of November 2016...so unless they pumped this set out immediately in December of 2016, this is a 2017 set...and not a Verstappen Rookie year card.

I still like the card, it's likely scarcer then the English language one, and the last one I saw went for what seemed like a bargain to me on Ebay, even as a 2nd year card...though one a few weeks earlier went for considerably more...so maybe collectors are wise to this issue already.
