Why isn't the Old Judge N172 broken up into sets for each year, since they are from different years and designs ? 1887 Set, 1888 Set, 1889 Set and 1890 Set ?
We don't group all the Topps, Goudey Sets etc into one set, each year is a separate set. I'm I missing something here.

Hey , I believe they are classified into different sets when they are collected. Each year is pretty distinguishable. They are just not given a different name

One of the reasons is that many of the photos are used in multiple years, as are the card designs. Another might just be that no one is asking for it. T206 cards were produced in different years too, but it's one set.

I'd guess if the cards had numbers on the back and there were multiple cards with the same number, then it would make more sense to separate it

I really enjoyed listening to jay and joe talk about the set. Jay has been helping my build my N172 collection for years and it was good to actually see his face and not his thumb that’s in all the pictures with the cards.

Mike--Great question! The quick answer is because we are saddled with Burdick's mistakes. It isn't even just that he should have subdivided the N172 set. The 1887 short number set contains both N171s and N172s. Calling Old Judges a "set" makes little more sense than calling Topps a set.
