Help ID vintage Red Sox cards
Anyone have a clue as to what these are and what year they are from? Standard size. Backs look like they were done on a typewriter. My guess is from around 1972. I don't see them listed in Beckett.

searching through google through amazon at the scd provided a possible roadmap

Not sure of the accuracy but there are many listed on ebay that say circa 1977.
Correction - There is a book called Standard Catalog of Vintage Baseball Cards by Krause Publications and it says 1972 a 45 card set. It also says the issue date is a guess.
