1929 - 1930 R315 Anonymous Issue 1933 Maybe?

[spec]

The team designations built into the design indicate R315 was originally issued in 1929. Most, if not all, of the cards can also be found with position and team printed in the border below the image as on Dan's Brooklyn O'Doul. I suggest that these R315 varieties were produced after O'Doul's trade to Brooklyn in Oct. 1930. We know of other 1920s sets (e.g. W502 and W590) that were reissued with updates years after originally distributed. If R315 were a 1933 issue, it would have Robins under his name as part of the design and New York NL in the border printing since he was dealt from Brooklyn to New York during the 1933 season. Since the White Sox did not obtain Smead Jolley until after the 1929 season, perhaps R315 was issued in at least two batches, one in 1929, the other in 1930, which also would account for the fact that O'Doul is shown as a Giant, while Fred Leach, the man he was traded for just after the 1928 season, is also designated a Giant.

I am basing this off of the 2 variations of Lefty O'Doul that I have.

One has him with Brooklyn and the other NY Giants.

The only year he played on both teams is in 1933.
