Need help with this '61 Spahn

[39special]

I've been getting rid of a lot of my cards.I came across a box of cards I haven't seen in years.I found this Spahn and was wondering if anyone knew
what it was.The color is lighter then the '61's I have. The back is white
with black print.

It appears to be a 1978 Dover 61 Topps reprint

Here is another copy:

Thanks!! Did Dover reprint the entire set?

In the version of the SCD VBC I have, I did not find a listing for this set. It looks like Dover reprinted a variety of cards in 1978. See below for some more from the set:

Dover publishes a lot of odd stuff, what they do varies a lot. They're big in crafts books and historical clip art among other things. They've reprinted some craft books that are a bit important historically.

The cards were published as a book of reprints. Intended as a fun, semi educational thing. There were a few different books

They also did a book of stickers.
