An Odd 1968 Milton Bradley 'Find'

[JollyElm]

As I was searching for uncut 1962 Topps sheets (for the love of God, if you have a pic of one, send it to me!!!!), I stumbled across this image and now I'm all sorts of confused. Although the pic is blurry, my eyes were immediately drawn to the top middle area, because there's a yellow letter Ed Brinkman staring back at us. Next, I saw the Jim Kaat checklist and thought, "Wait, he wasn't in the Milton Bradley set." In fact, a lot of the cards on this sheet weren't a part of the MB set.

The ones that immediately jumped out were:
2 AL Batting Leaders
4 AL RBI Leaders
6 AL HR Leaders
28 Uhlaender
37 Williams
40 McClain
46 Ricketts
55 Alou
67 Kaat CL
76 Braves Rookies
92 Kranepool
101 Beckert
102 Cardenal
103 Sutton
109 Campaneris

It seems the entire second row down from the top are all MB cards. Then scattered here and there are others, like Brooks Robinson, Milt Pappas, etc.

Granted, I don't have any sort of provenance regarding this sheet, it's just an image from a google search. But what's going on? In the many threads about Milton Bradleys that I participated in, it seemed like people around here knew precisely how the set was created--all of the different types of sports/activities included in the game were printed together on the sheets. Did I miss something? Why would all of these non-MB baseball cards be printed along with the ones from the game? That second row has me baffled!! Could the well known checklist of MB cards be wrong and there are actually many, many more that were included in the game? Or is it possible that this is just part of a regular 1968 Topps sheet and the often stated 'fact' that every yellow letter Brinkman card was an MB is, in fact, erroneous?

What am I missing??
