1916-20 UNC BIG HEADS: show them

Hasn�t it been proven that this set came out in 1919? I know for a while it was considered Rogers Hornsby rookie card, but not anymore if it indeed didn't come out in 1916.

I don't remember ever seeing 1 specific date for them. Without me doing any research, certain players and teams probably account for the spread in years. That said, Oldcardboard has the Big Head as the #5 rookie of his, with a year spread of 1920-21.

Here is a fun thread started in 2010 about the issue date for the Big Heads with a lot of input from members:
