Next thing to show are two Ross Youngs, which look like Type 1 and Type 3 according to the font theory, with the Type 3 being of the "Former" position variation for the card. The thing to see here is on the far left is the number "15" (cut off on one of the cards). This seems to show that this card was the first card on the 15th row of the sheet / page that this card was issued. Since both cards are on the same row / position, this supports the theory that new players / cards were not added to the set. Instead, for each year the set was issued, only the player's team or position was updated as needed. Therefore, each year should have the same number of player cards.
