1921 M.L.B. Diecuts
I know this is not exactly anyone's sweet spot in their collection, if they have any at all, but I noticed something interesting in looking at the following auction for what are commonly known as 1921-30 M.L.B. diecuts:

If you look at the individual players, all with Brooklyn Dodger designations, you'll notice that Lefty O'Doul and Hack Wilson are included. Fine, except that O'Doul did not play for Brooklyn until 1931 nor did Wilson until 1932. I've isolated these players here:
The players in the auction cover different Brooklyn teams from multiple years, so comparing others in the grouping does not help much. The question I have is did these get issued later than thought or are these just carefully-spliced labels? Sometimes the labels were used one over the other from year to year, so that could explain some unevenness, but I just can't say for certain here, even with some coloration difference. I'd like to think this is a new discovery, but can't go there yet. Thoughts?
