1959 Topps Uncut sheet showing Double Prints

[whiteymet]

Hi Guys:

I don't know if this has been discussed here before, but there is an uncut sheet of 59 Topps on ebay. It shows to my eyes 22 cards that are double printed on this sheet of 110.

The top and bottom rows have been flip flopped to the "other side" of the sheet and reprinted while the three inside rows are single prints.

I don't collect this set, but does this jive with what seems to be the case in finding these cards? Are the double prints easier to find?

Take a look. I look forward to the discussion.

Fred

That's an odd piece and a very interesting one.

It's not a complete uncut sheet.
But it is the bottom 5 rows of the actual sheet which was two 132 card sheets wide -Both 12 high by 11 wide.

The layouts were different for each side. Since series 4 was 88 cards

132 x2 =264 /88 = 3 so there should be no singleprints, unless there were other sheet layouts.

Steve is correct, no DP's

Divide the sheet in half, the bottom 4 rows on the left would also be the top 4 rows on the left as well as the middle 4 rows on the right side of the 132 card half sheet. The bottom 4 rows in the right would also be rows 1 thru 4 on the right half plus rows 5 thru 8 n the left.
