90 miles north of San Francisco, and 750 miles south of Seattle (with Oregon in the middle) the only 1975 cards available were minis.

I was at a show in a suburb of San Francisco on Saturday, and the dealers there mirrored what Doug said. They told me that all they had in 1975 were minis. The regular sized cards to them were the rarities, not the other way around.
On Long Island, we didn't have minis at all and the first time I ever saw one was some time in the 80's.

My neighborhood in suburban Cleveland was saturated with minis for a short time in 1975. It probably coincided with the arrival of two kids from the Bay Area who spent the summer at the house of a kid who lived down the street from me.

I always wondered how rare the mini's are. It seems there are plenty of supposedly sealed wax boxes on ebay. I guess they are rare compared to the standard sized cards. The end price of the wax boxes for the mini's on ebay would suggest they are rare, but I've seen what to me seems like a lot.
