The reason I ask the issue date is that I think the E79's strongly suggest, but do not prove, a likely 1910 issue date. All of the fighters in the set are active (though Hart, Fitzsimmons and Burns were on their last legs in 1909 and 1910) except for two, Sharkey and Jeffries. Sharkey had retired in 1904, as did Jeffries. Jeffries came back in 1910 for a big paycheck to put on a show and lose to Jack Johnson as an old fat man. He'd not necessarily be an issue to have in the checklist, but he wouldn't make much of any sense to pair with Cobb for the advertising pieces in 1909. He would in 1910 as the hype for the first fight of the century built.
The fight cards in E80 are not very helpful to dating. Most of them are matchups of several years before. Kelly and Ketchel was a 1908 bout. Wolgast V. Nelson is probably their February 1910 title match, but they did have a July 1909 bout too that was much less of a big deal.
