Looks to be late 60s early 70s range by the photo, but there is no back/no identifier. Hoping some of the misc sport experts on here may be able to help!

    Good one :). My apologies if it wasn't clear, but I'm looking to identify the set from which this originates. Still hoping someone here may know..

    looks like the same photo used on the 1969 Panini Campioni dello Sport card.

    It's similar, perhaps even the same photo shoot, but not the same.. It's similarity to both the '69 and '70 Panini issues leads me to believe it came from this time period. At this point though, I don't have much more (aside from the card #).

    1970 Editrice Imperia - Auto Stemmi Moto but the back side of the sticker (card) has been skinned off, probably when removed from an album.

    There are two slightly different ones that look almost the same as this one:

    1969 Edis - Moto Super Raf #216
    1969 Editrice Imperia - Auto Stemmi Moto #216

    Note that the two from 1969 might look like the same photo but the card sticker number is 216 instead of 261. I have the 3 of them somewhere among the N9 tombs here. If I can find them, I'll scan them for you side by side to see the differences, but no promises on how long it might be until I find them ;)

    Greg, you are a card encyclopedia. Unbelievable.

    Wow, fantastic! Sucks to know the back is missing, but still great to know what set it came from. Thank you Greg!! Btw, I presume these '69 issues are all considered RCs/1st year issues, or are there earlier releases?

    I suppose some people consider the 1969 Andretti cards to be rookies, but I vote no; his true RC's are the two different back versions of his 1968 Mira card.

    *Edit to add: I just noticed that eagles happened to post the image of the front side of the '68 Mira over in the combos thread yesterday:
