I picked this set up in a collection I purchased a couple of years ago. I haven't found any pricing information, any help would be appreciated. Cards are nrmt. Thank you. Jim

It's listed in the Trading Card Database, but the cards are not pink but, the pictures are the same. Also, the Casanova card in the TCB has a back in Spanish.

That is actually the 1970 Version of the D.C. DMV Office of Traffic Safety Set.

The pink version was the first version printed. After that, they were printed on a yellow card stock. There are two versions of the 1970 Yellow Set. One with Dave Nelson and one with Aurelio Rodriguez who replaced Dave Nelson after he was traded in 1970.

The uncut pink set I have was a grail find for me (Senators Fan here). And I purchased it from a gentleman who is a member on this site.

And here is the write up in the Vintage Baseball Catalog 6th Edition.

Note: I am of the personal opinion that the Dave Nelson card, while a short print is not as short of a short print than the Aurelio Rodriguez card is. My reasoning for this is Dave was in the first and second printings and Aurelio came later. I believe the Aurelio Yellow version is a more scarce version as a result of the later printings.

I am interested in the individual cards just so you know.

Congrats!!

In addition to the cards, this approx. 14" x 20" poster of Frank Howard was also produced. It hangs on the wall of my man cave.

I can tell you that based on whom is in the set.

Both McLain and Foy only played for the Senators in 1971 thus they can't be 1970 cards.McLain was 3-5 for the Tigers that year with the gambling suspension and Foy was coming from the Mets,

So, the Pink has to be from 1971 unless they were psychic as to whom Robert Short was bringing to the Senators the next season.
