I remember the 1968 and 1969 last series cards coming out earlier in the summer. By August, we had all series, but in 1970 we had only received the first 4 series and we were still looking for high numbers in September. If that was the case across the country, stores would have ordered more of the 7th series cards in 68-69 since kids were still out of school. I don’t think production was less in 70-72, just in the late series due to late release.
