Key Cards
The key cards are Pat Riley and Evlin Hayes (their first pro cards).
Some collectors believe that Harry Barnes and Henry Finkel were short prints in a version of the set that Jack-in-the-Box released in 1968 and that they reissued the set in 1969 (with higher print numbers), replacing them with Bobby Smith and Bernie Williams.
