Makes sense to me. In 78 my family took a camping trip cross country with some time in Canada. Niagara to sault St Marie, and the Canadian side of Glacier Natl park. In the east I bought a bunch of 78 OPC baseball But in the natl park they had 1977s! When I commented that they must not sell many cards because they'd been there a year the staff was puzzled. Then a bit amused/mad when I showed them that the cards were a year old. Apparently they'd just gotten them in that week.
