    This information comes from the 2009 Standard Catalog of Baseball Cards. From the catalog, there appears to be a difference in size between the years and is something I would think that PSA would catch when grading. Thoughts???

    1969 Transogram:

    These 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" cards were printed on the back of toy baseball player statue boxes. The cards feature a color photo of the player surrounded by a rounded white border.
    Below the photo is the player’s name in red and his team and other personal details all printed in black. The overall background is yellow. The cards were designed to be cut off the box, but collectors prefer to find the box intact and, better still, with the statue inside. While the cards themselves are not numbered, there is a number on each box’s end flap, which is the order in which the cards are checklisted here. Three-player boxes were also sold

    1970 Transogram:

    The 1970 Transogram cards were found printed on boxes of three Transogram baseball player statues. The individual player cards are slightly larger than 1969’s, at 2-9/16" x 3-1/2". The 30-card set has the same pictures as the 1969 set except for Joe Torre. All players in the ’70 set were also in the ’69 Transogram issue except for Reggie Jackson, Sam McDowell and Boog Powell. Each box contains a side panel with a series number and 1" x 1-1/4" portrait photos of the players in the series. Prices shown are for cards cut from the box.
