So, a description that reads "we can only assume that a trading card is safely entombed inside as well, though whether it pictures a bird, fish, flag or baseball player is anyone’s guess" is very misleading.
Not trying to single Legendary out here, but they didn't do any diligence on this lot. I'd also be happy to scan the appropriate pages from Springer's Cinderella Stamps guide if they would like verification of tax stamp date.

When I describe something as "circa 1910s" 1918 certainly fits into that time frame. Any where between 1910 - 1919 is acceptable.
