Note that they list "+1967", short-hand for "1967 is the earliest
reference we currently have.
I'm glad you noticed them. You're much more expert than I am to comment
on the release date. The "+" is specifically there to make it stand out
and catch the attention of those who'd "know better" than us.

This is the same page that the scans are clipped from. It's that a 1967

The above series (702-725) has been fixed from +1967 to 1961 (with your
name listed internally as the source, Gary).
I'm holding off on the duplicate 717 and 725 (even though the 717 we
have seems to be the later version) until you comment on the "1967" date
on that sheet.

Normally, this should have gone to lugnet.admin.database; however I've
left it in plain view in lugnet.general to encourage anyone else who
spots inaccuracies (and has verifiable fixes to reference) to post fixes
to lugnet.admin.database
