1969 Milton Bradley set

[Kevvyg1026]

What year is the Royals card? It has red 1s both with & without the base.

That is, for the 2 roll (Groundout) and the 5 roll (Bunt single), the 1 has no base, but the 3 roll (bunt out) and the 9 roll (single), the 1 has a base.

Here is a scan of the two versions I have of the Milton Bradley Royals card.

As can be seen, the right side has the right text (RA1) for both the 3 roll and the 6 roll in both black and red, so the red number has the base for those.

The right text for the 2 roll and 9 roll are in red for both these variations, so the 1 does not have a base.

Which card is from which year?

The one on the left is a 1969 and the one on the right is a 1972. There are two red based 1’s on the card on the right which makes it a 1972. Some 1972’s will have both red based 1’s and red 1’s without the base on the same card. The only 1972 Milton Bradley cards to not have at least one red based 1 are the Milwaukee Brewers header card and the San Francisco Giants header card.
