Seitz's cards weren't all produced at the same time; they accumulated over the years as new players came up and older ones disappeared. George "Kiddo" Davis, for example, has a card based on 1932 or 1933 (or both), judging from his 11, though none of his career explains the 4-4-5-6-6 power. (The reissues are uniform in style because they were all produced at the same time. circa 2001. by AJ Publishing. They were never part of Sports Game Publishing's slightly earlier NP reprint, though most of the people who bought the Seitz cards undoubtedly owned that set.)

Quick question for you - do we know what the original cards looked like? I presume they were typewritten...
Typewritten. I'm trying to remember whether I ever saw originals or just photocopies.
