Is 1923 the correct date for this issue? I jsut went through my list of players that only appear on Willards. Only 2 players had their career continue past 1922 and 3 never played past 1921. One player never played in 1921, but played in 1920 and 1922.

I would say it is pretty safe to say that this set WAS NOT issued in 1923 as it would have included at least 4 players that never played after 1921. Personally, I would lean towards 1921 as the date of issue although a strong case for 1922 could be made too.
