I originally thought the same thing, one 1979 box has Jose Cardenal as a Cub even though he hadn't played for them sine 1977 and the 1978 Dave Kingman die cut disc has him as a Padre even though he was on his third organization since being a Padre before the 1978 season even started, but ArmourPhil has indisputable proof that the die cut discs were a 1978 issue and the boxes and sleeves were a 1979 issue. It was just horrible product quality control by whoever created and printed them.
