Indeed--note that a little below Kauff, he lists Lavan as being with either St. Louis A.L. or N.L, which is also inaccurate, unless again there's some rare example out there that at present has not been documented.

As Todd says, the fact that Lipset also has a Lavan with STL AL suggests he was working with a lot less firsthand info than we have today. My guess is he got the bad info from someone else and decided to put it in - I doubt either variation exists.

This makes me also wonder about the supposed "Lavin" error card that I don't think anyone has ever actually seen. It's not listed in the checklist pictured above, but I suspect it got into the set's checklist in a similar way and still lingers in most of them.
