Agreed Ted, a large percentage of collectors who do not focus on specific set completion or type sets collect cards which commemorate events which occured in baseball. The first to see significant impact is rookie cards, but others such as perfect games, MVP winners, etc. are similarly collected. For this type of collecting, the year of issue of a card is an important factor.

However, until recently the primary thrust in "getting things right" has been the attempt to identify all of the cards in a set. Now, having made significant headway in that direction, correct identification of the year of set issuance is being addressed.

Clearly, this hobby is still too young to have accurately identified the elements collected. Sounds ridiculous, but here we are.
