Does anyone have the envelope that these cards came in with a 1931 postmark on it???? I have a worn envelope somewhere, I recall no postmark. For several years I've thought maybe these should be considered with a 1932 issue date; I think the set may have been produced after the Cards won the 1931 World Series, and if that wasn't in late 1931 then it would have been early 1932, and fans could have bought the envelope full of the pictures at the ball park, or at a newsstand. I think Metropolitan Studios issued similar sized pictures of movie stars, and I'm guessing they'd be sold at newsstands. An envelope with a 1931 postmark would lock these in as a 1931 issue.
These are 1931 players / World Champions, no argument there.
