By "different design," are you saying that there is no cartoon and written highlight (stats only)? If so, you'll notice that other long-time players (Aaron, Mays, Mantle, etc.) have a similar design. Topps chose to use their complete career statistics through 1968 instead of abridging them.
On an unrelated note...Pandrews, I see you live in Jacksonville from the other thread. So do I.

yeah, it has no cartoon and the "name" font is different.. it also doesn't have the long, curvy "T" in "Topps" around the card #.. but like you said, it has his complete stats.. i guess i've just never noticed it before..
yep, Jville all the way! I've been here a while..
