Need ID Help! 68/69 Nolan Ryan Tom Seaver Regional Issue?

I got this on eBay with the title "1968 Nolan Ryan Rookie Tom Seaver Hand Cut Mets Regional Issue". I have seen on checklists that there is a card issued in 1969 referred to as Mets Team Issue #12. However, the card only has the player names on the front and no print whatsoever on the back, so I don't know if this is the same one. The third player on the card is Joseph Martin. I have seen another listing with a set of 8 such cards, all featuring Mets players. They are on fairly thick card stock for the era. Can anybody identify this?

    I've spoken to this seller in person at the Shriner's Show in Wilmington, MA and he knows exactly where it comes from, but he'll deny it right to your face.
