69 Transogram
Recently I was going through a "buried" box of my cards from the attic and inside it were several 69 Transogram cards. In looking at the other cards contained in the set, I noticed that many of the images used on these 69 Transogram cards were the same images used on Topps cards. Some of the duplicate images from the 68 Topps issue and the 69 Transograms were Marichal, Reichardt, Odom, May, Cater, Gibson, Monday, Seaver, Perez, Brock and Harrelson(as pictured). From 69 Topps, the Reggie Jackson image appears to match the Transogram card's image.
Did Transogram have some sort of agreement with Topps to use the images or were the images purchased from the same (freelance) source that Topps obtained the images from?
