It depends upon which issue you're asking about.
Originally, the newspaper featured the profiles in the run-up to the regular season in 1969. It was in-paper promotion for both the team and the paper. So the original "set" would have been on newsprint and, yes, Joe Schultz was included.
The
"card" set was a 1978 reprint on card stock created as a collectible by collector Frank Caruso. The cards are numbered 1-39, but the set is complete at 38 cards as #5, Joe Schultz, was
not issued as part of the reprint set.
The original newspaper profiles were a tad larger than the cards. Given the frailty of newsprint, the sets you see for sale on eBay are invariably the '78 Caruso sets.
