Default 1974 Topps Factory Set

After recently putting together a master set of 1974 Topps baseball, I had a few questions concerning the Factory set they issued that year:

1) Was it Sears or Penny's, and was it available in stores or by catalog only?
2) I've heard it was issued for Christmas, and I assume that would have been in December of 1974, but given all cards were printed at once could it have been in time for 1973?
3) Did it contain the traded set and/or the team checklists?
4) Did it contain the Washington variations or the Padres?
5) And did it contain the other variations (Apodaco, no position Alou)
6) Finally, which version of the Freisleben did it have - Washington, large San Diego or small San Diego?

If anyone has opened one and can remember any of this, that would be very helpful. Thanks!

That is a cool listing. The box states there are “over 700 cards” so I assume that at least the traded cards would be included (660 + 44).

Yeah, it talks about approximately 50 traded cards are surrounding the set. So that would mean that it was not available in 1973. Have to figure all the cards have San Diego and the corrections.

It was in the J.C. Penney catalog and this makes some sense. This was the 1st year Topps issued their cards all at once so putting them into a factory set made sense.

I would guess:

San Diego cards
Traded Set
Common #599
Common Alou and Apodaca

Regards
Rich

I could have sworn it was Sears that had the set. I remember my Grandmother picking one up for me. It was either 4.99 or 5.99 if memory serves me correct.
