Perhaps this person acquired these from Galasso?
I agree about the early 80's. I have similar Topps photos possibly to use for baseball cards. Unsure if I purchased these cards from Renata Galasso or Topps through their wrapper advertisement. But it was a random grouping of cards for one price and the cards I received are;
