****THESE CARDS WERE NOT DISTRIBUTED IN PACKS**** To differentiate the 1974 Parker Brothers cards from regular issued Topps, on the back of the card, Parker Brothers will show 1972 Season stats while the regular issue will show 1973. There are also 2 asterisks next to the copyright symbol on the reverse side bottom left. Parker Brothers cards were only offensive players and I believe only 50 cards in the set/game. There is an article at sportscollectorsdigest.com that tries to explain how to distinguish between the two but because of so many different variations, you'll get dizzy trying to keep up. Good luck. **New Combined Shipping Rates** I try to keep the postage low but USPS & eBay keep raising our rates 2 - 3 cards .95¢ 4 or more cards $1.35 no matter how many you purchase. All over charges for postage will be refunded after you pay. Please, if you are buying more than one card, add them to your shopping cart first before checkout, then when you are done choosing your cards, pay for all at one time. Thanks!! All cards are shipped in a semi rigid card holder between 2 pieces of cardboard, tucked in a graded card sleeve, made airtight to protect the card from moisture.
