Yes, Super Advanced is an issue. Cards that are not SADV are not fully compatible (e.g., no T-rating or PB-rating for catchers).
The following seasons are SADV from SOM (called Caddy seasons as opposed to Chevy seasons in the SOM community):
1911
1920
1924
1927
1930
1934
1941
1948
1950
1951
1954-1957
1959-present
Also, I believe that some of the more modern sets have some SADV components, but not all, particularly since members of the community frequently ask about whether some of those seasons will be updated.
Also, if SOM gave their entire catalog to this game, that would conflict with their main product. Each Caddy season is $22; each Chevy season is $11. And there's no way of looking at the cards without buying the season.
Lastly, keeper leagues happen now. I have one getting ready for its 22nd season. And I believe keeper leagues are popular in the mystery formats.
