Also the "/500" has no number indicating to me it was where a sequential number could be written in after printing??
Any help is appreciated.

Well, this is pretty cool. What I believe this is is a pasteup that I made from my original artwork and used the image in Sports Collectors Digest where I was an editor from 1983 to 2011. The artwork of Koufax was made around 1983 or so and used in 8-by-10-inch prints (most had watercolor added by hand) and also for the Mini-Prints smaller cards starting in 1984. The only reason there is a pasted-on section is I was able to make a nicer player name and team name with the computer program at SCD than my original hand-drawn names. I'd love to know how you came across this; as I noted, it's pretty cool. TS
