1921-23 E220 National Caramel Dating Re-evaluation

Phil,

Thanks. I understand your position, I am not sure that it answered my question though. I would say that most date changes in the hobby guides don't happen unless there is pretty significant evidence that the previously believed date was incorrect (1948 Leaf baseball perhaps), that part I get. I don't think that it means that there is no benefit in a discussion of the dates and their validity if there seems to be some evidence weighing against them just because it might make a change in a rookie card definition. Rookie cards although an extremely important part of the hobby is a niche like many other things, all IMO.

Nice research Rhett. I enjoyed reading your analysis.

I don't want to slam any rookie card collector, least of all you. However, if the scholarship of this board reveals that a previously attributed date to a set is wrong, it really doesn't matter how long it takes the catalogues to catch up, IMO. If research reveals without much dispute that a card was issued in 1922, the fact that it was previously attributed to 1921 isn't a reason to keep it that way. It was issued when it was issued. That isn't a money thing, its just a factual thing.
