Nice! And it's not even the end of the decade yet! Thanks to you, I was presented with the opportunity to check out the records of those players (by the way, Bricknell, as listed in the Heritage Auction lot description, is actually Fred Brickell). Nothing stands out as being out of line with the player selection and team designation...each player was playing the whole 1929 season for the team designation on the card, and most played for that same team for the 1928 season and at least halfway through the 1930 season. Buddy Myer is the closest to being relevant in this dating discussion, as he was traded to the Senators, the team designation on his card, on December 15, 1928. But he doesn't move the needle any.

With the Lefty Grove card, we now could create a complete (as far as we know) 101 card checklist for these R316 5 x 7's. And probably we could be safe to describe this set as being first issued in 1929 (and likely only 1929, as there are so few overall examples).

Thanks again...Brian
