The grading companies, along with most of the hobby, used to believe that what are now called 1917 E135s and their variants (Boston Store, Weil and Standard Biscuit) were actually issued in 1916. Thus many Weil and Standard Biscuits that align with E135, as opposed to the ones that are like the Sporting News/M101s, carry flips that say 1916, and are likely in the pop report for that reason.
I always thought it was very strange and seemingly unlikely that Weil and Standard Biscuit would issue two, 200 card sets in the same year. As it turns out, you can tell from team changes to the cards of Joe Wood (Cleveland) and Jimmy Lavender (Philadelphia) that the E135s were not issued until 1917, as those two did not play for those teams until that year.
