here are my understandings: 1) milton bradley did not produce this card for it's board game, 2) it is not listed in the set registry. however the pop report is reporting that one has been graded a psa 7 (along with a frank robinson and another card below the 200 card number). the one i just purchased has a white line right on the top border and the back is yellow not orange (i compared the back color with several other 1968's i have). these are the main characteristics of a milton bradley card. so any one with knowledge, is it possible there are pete rose milton bradley cards other than the one graded? is there another characteristic i am overlooking.
thanks
Work hard and you will succeed!!

this is almost exactly what the rose looks like with a yellow back. my rose has 60/40 centering, so just a little worse.
I found a 1968 Topps Pete Rose with a horizontal print line along the top on COMC, it's probably the same as what you have. If a card isn't on this virtual sheet of 132 cards, it's not a 1968 Milton Bradley. ETA, there are no 1968 Milton Bradley cards of Pete Rose or Frank Robinson, regardless of what any pop report or set registry says.
I found a couple more on Dean's Cards, it's just a common print line that can be found on many off center 1968 Topps Pete Rose cards.
thanks guys
