I was at a show in a suburb of San Francisco on Saturday, and the dealers there mirrored what Doug said. They told me that all they had in 1975 were minis. The regular sized cards to them were the rarities, not the other way around.

On Long Island, we didn't have minis at all and the first time I ever saw one was some time in the 80's.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
