W517 cards not issued in 1931, but instead in 1930, and 1932 (regular size and mini)

Not a surprise; ESCO recycled images for years in the 1920s-1930s.

Thanks Adam. Those Exhibit 4 on 1 you showed would have an earliest release date as a later 1931 issue, as Shires became a Braves player on 10/9/1931

I am not too familiar with Exhibits...are all the cards you showed considered to be from the same set? If the one with Willie Kamm is considered to be a separate issue, then mid-1931 would be the earliest date for it, as Kamm became an Indians player on 5/17/1931.

I've always considered them to be a single issue but that is one of those sets that was not catalogued and is not well understood.
