1974 Parker Brothers Pro Draft Cards

Loved this game as a snot nosed 12 year old. Anyone ever notice the cards pictured on top of the box are 1973 cards?

from SCD article linked above:
The picture on the 1974 Parker Brothers Pro Draft game box shows 1973 Topps cards. Some say an early version of the game included 50 cards from ’73; even so, no cards from that year show any variations that would identify them as Parker Brothers cards, so none from ’73 are classified as such.

Many years ago I went searching for this game in my parents attic. I was planning to pull the cards out so that I'd have the complete Parker Bros set.

Imagine my surprise when about half the cards that were in the box I found were not from the set. I'm guessing when we played this game as kids we swapped cards in and out from the rest of our cards and now my set is scattered to the wind.

Now I have to finish it all over again! Darn
