Well, I know these issues are complicated, but SGC is getting these wrong already.
Here's one for now. I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find others.

This Lewis Hamilton card #4C is labeled as a 2010 Ravensburger "Pole Position" issue. It is actually a 2012 issue. The 2010 issue using this image, should be numbered #4A.
You can tell this is a 2012 issue, because if you look in the bottom left corner of the card, you can see card #4A (and most recent car) in this run should be the McLaren-Mercedes MP4/26 car, driven by Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button during the 2011 season.
I will post the images of the incorrectly dated SGC card, and what the correct 2010 card looks like.
I know these cards can be very similar from year to year. Best way to tell them apart is the number listed in the top left corner, and then the car models listed in that number sequence in the bottom left corner of the card.
Hope this makes at least a little bit of sense, if anybody cares about the obscurities in these sets.
