Incorrect Dates attributed to Vintage Sets

Hal Lewis had very little to do with the re-dating of Fan Craze, and even less to do with the proper dating of M101-4 and m101-5. On the latter, there has been no conclusive proof that the two sets were released within weeks of each other, although the m101-5s were no doubt printed first, as can be seen from the few player changes that were made in the two sets.

Other sets that long were misdated included E135 and iterations, listed for years as a 1916 issue when in fact it was released after that, and R315, which was certainly issued in 1930, probably in 1929, possibly in 1928 and maybe in 1931--or combinations of those years.
