Has anyone else noticed the ATG 1977 card is different from the 1980s Mystery 1977 card? Not sure if this was an intentional update or an oversight.

Apparently they modernized his card for the ATG set. Originally in the 70s, pitchers did not get gb A's on their cards. Eventually, SOM did start putting gb A's on pitchers cards, which makes sense. I still remember SOM's ads from when I was a kid (i.e., before the change) that said some pitchers made hitters "hit it into the dirt" (as opposed to a strikeout pitcher), yet there was no real difference in groundball chances on pitchers' cards. So, I think this was a good change.
Lack of gb A's on pitchers cards is one reason I stopped playing the 70s mystery league.

Are there a lot of cards that get revised/updated? It seems his new ATG card with the same 77 stats is more hitter friendly
