They look the same as this Ryan:

Does anybody know how or why they chose the picture to use?

Some of the stickers have the same photo as the regular 72 Topps cards.

Many however have completely different photos.

I bought a couple of these back in the 1970s along with some Puerto Rican cards from Wirt Gammon. These look exactly like the ones I purchased, very little chance of them being counterfeit.

What is the story on the Cardenal? Scarce or never printed?

That's a good question. I can't seem to find a picture of one online, or the other missing sticker, Gonzalo Marquez.

Also, no one should assume if one of these is in a PSA holder, they're authentic. Most graded by PSA are the fakes. Most available on the market are also fakes.

The key is the printing and the alignment of the green borders. If it's half tone green, they are fakes. There's a post on CU about these and I made a chart showing the real and counterfeit fonts. Search for the thread.

The two different printers story was once somewhat believed but it is extremely likely false.
