Hi Mike,
Sorry your thread got hijacked. The Stratton card is from 1935, and the grading companies seem to have trouble with those. Both PSA and SGC appear to consider Worch's as having been issued in 1933 and 1934, although old SCD big books include some from 1935. It is possible that PSA actually researched the card and had doubts once it determined it was not from either 1933 or 1934 (Stratton's only season with St Paul was 1935). Of course, they could have just consulted an outdated checklist too.
I mentioned a couple of years ago that the only 1935 cards I have confirmed were of Saints and Millers players, and that it was possible those cards were not issued by Worch at all, but by either the teams or the local newspapers who are credited on the photos. Since I don't follow the set very closely any more, I do not know if others have debunked such a theory or not.
