I think - but am not sure- that each subscription began with set 1 and continued showing up as long as your money held out.
The number at the lower right ends in the set and card number. The Astrodome card is set 20 card 2.

A totally crazy set if you count all the different printing locations, languages, etc.
And while for the most part the different countries overlap, some subjects were issued only in one country I think, like Maradona in the Finnish version.
