Howdy! It looks way more recent than 1975. I have no clue what that card come from, but its style looks similar to some of the minor league team sets (maybe a set of Rangeland Derby participants) or the self-made cards some players are sending by mail (often with a bible quote). A quick look on Google Images shown me Rangeland Derby cards in links to Canadian Museum of History. There's another link for a Calgary Stampede Rangeland Derby set on Amazon.

I think the 1975 is copyright for Calgary Stampede and not for the card

I’d guess ‘93-94ish based on the Garth Brooks cosplay

Or the last standings listed are for 1992.

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Definately not 1992, as I found GMC cards for 1992 (diff images) which kinda points to 93 or later? (guessing)

I was able to find this link https://digitalcollections.ucalgary.ca/asset-management/2R3BF1MDPVS to a picture of him from the 1987 Calgary Stampede. So we know for sure he raced that year. On the back of this card it mentions "this is Grant's 8th year at the Rangeland Derby" which is the chuckwagon racing tournament held during the Stampede each year (July I believe). If the '87 derby were his first, the card would be printed for the 1994 version of the event. I can find no earlier records of him than 1987.
