The inserts were definitely unique to series that I bought. There was no mixture.
I vividly remember opening 1970 high number packs Labor Day weekend 1970; they had just hit the stores. I remember because I scored the Bud Harrelson and I was a burgeoning Mets fan and also liked the shot; I know the timeframe because we were at an annual picnic held the Saturday of Labor Day Weekend and I got a couple of packs when we were going home.

No idea what I had for lunch today but I remember that......

This image is NOT that Bud Harrelson but shows why I remember the pose so well-it was unique at the time:
