What is the difference between the 1969 and 1970 Transogram Statues Cards? Basically is this Jim Fregosi from the 1969 set or the 1970 one?

I asked a buddy of mine and he said they just used the same card for both years. however if you look at graded ones they could have either year on them...so no clue lol sorry

According to my Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards, they used the same pictures, but the 1970 statues came in packs of 3, so the cards were also in a panel of 3. It says the 1970's were slightly larger, but since you're cutting it off of a box, it would be hard to tell unless you could see the dashed lines around the photo. The 1970's were 2 9/16" by 3 1/2". They don't give a size for the 69's.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help guys. I got the card and another one in a larger lot of vintage stuff so I wasn't the one to cut them. Guess if anybody is interested in them they would know what version they were. I'll just be sure to let them know I don't have a clue what version they are before trading them.
