Regarding the Lloyd Waner card...Adam is correct that it is from the tougher "Type 2" E210 set, also referred to as the glossy York caramels as they tend to have a glossy sheen to them. However, the easiest way to tell a Type 1 from a Type 2 is the direction of print on back. Do a search on this site and you will find a few threads where we have discussed the sets before.

Regarding the Doerr...he is actually one of the subjects that helped to re-date the R314 "Creamy" set all the versions were once dated 1936. Doerr didn't begin his major league career until 1937 so that is how we know that that set was produced in 1937 at the earliest, so the date on the slab is correct.
