Does it really matter?
That it was the original creator/printer that "reissued" them 37 years later - in a manner that is at least arguably deceptive as they looked so similar to the originals.
Was it a $$ grab? Was he in partnership in some way with Gilberto?
If they were printed in 2009 they are clearly not 1972.
Though off the top of my head I can't think of a similar instance, I have to believe this is not the 1st time such a thing has happened. Some possibilities:
1947-66 Exhibit cards
1972 "Roberto & Me " souvenir pamphlet
The above notwithstanding, they do not belong in 3rd party holders labeled as "1972".
