Why Does PSA Not Put the Year On Some Flips?

does anyone know why PSA does not put the year on the flip for certain sets? Mostly prewar sets I've noticed.. they will just identify the set by numbers on the flip but will have a year in the details online. For example..

1913 T230 Pan Handle Scrap World's Champion Athletes Duke Kahanamoku

1913 is not on the flip. And what does T230 mean? Why wouldn't the set just be called 1913 Pan Handle Scrap World's Champion Athletes?

    Most, if not all , of the sets that they do that for were produced over multiple years.

    Instead of putting it into my own words, here is a copy and paste job!

    Jefferson R. Burdick (1900–1963) was a trading and baseball card collector and cataloguer. He cataloged trading and baseball cards in The American Card Catalog, otherwise known as the ACC, which is still used today by collectors and dealers. The famed T206 baseball card set received its popularized name from the set's designation in the ACC. Many other baseball card sets are popularly known by their ACC designation, including: T205, E93, M116 and R313.

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.

    It's the plastic case the card goes in. Invented by Philip Andrew "flip" Stevensberry, the founder of PSA.
