Weren't the W590 Strip Cards issued in 1925?

I know PSA designates the W590's as 1925-31 but I don't know what that means. Does it mean that ALL of the W590's were distributed in all of these years or SOME W590's were distributed in each of these years. If they were all distributed in all of these years, you might argue that his W590 card is Grange's earliest card. However its been validated that the SGC designated 1948-52 Exhibit set contains cards that were NOT produced in 1948 so who knows regarding the W590s?

It does appear that the 1926 Spalding card was produced earlier than the Shotwell sets.

Who went after the W590 Grange that just sold on ebay?

The W590s were issued in 1925 then revised in 1931. Dating can be determined from caption and subject changes on some of the subjects. For example this card of Benny Leonard identifies him as champ; he retired in 1925.
