Bobby BRegarding virginceaser post about the maple crispette.
I originally contact Eric about date and help him with information to do an article. I found the original ads while reasearching, which unfortunately none confirm the insertion of the cards in the packaging. However, most companies wouldn't advertise the cards on the packaging but mostly as in-store advertisement, so there is no hard copy of this being 1925.
But looking at the hockey which is 1924-25 for sure, the baseball backs most certainly follow the hockey card backs.
I have changed many dates in the hockey and I would say its pretty conclusive with the write-up.
I guess the true question is to give me any piece of proof it would be from 1923, lots have been given for the date change and none for the 1923 date.
I have learned from many years in this hobby that change is not easy to come by, especially if it involves collectors who posess rookie cards that may change and certainly the older date is always more attractive.
I have posted may article on the history of O-Pee-Chee Company and Parkhurst Company on the non-sports and hockey boards. This sharing of information makes for a healthier collecting field for us all and I am sure it goes the same for the Baseball Forum as well!
Jimmy- Yes, with hockey we incorporate two years in each classification, the only grey area would be if something was issued in the summer months, at that point I have only allocated one year.
Thank you all for responding my out of range topic.
