I think you are referring the the '68 card having a spring training shot from the mid 60's. The 1969 card is just a more closely cropped shot of the picture on the 1967 card.
Due to the players union telling the players to not pose for pictures to try to negotiate a better agreement, Topps had to use old pictures for the 1968 set and part of the 1969 set.
