Topps Action Prints

Your surmise is correct. The Topps files were full of these - color prints, about 3-1/2 x 5, the ones at Yankee Stadium taken by NYY team photographer Michael Grossbardt, also some from Shea and Connie Mack Stadium, 1970-72.

These were used or intended for the experiments with action photography in the regular cards in '71 and '73 and the "In Action" cards of 1972. Unlike everything else in which printing was actually done from those negatives, the action shots were printed off these actual photos.
