Unsure how they got their hands on them, but they are out there.

I blogged on these a while back and wrote:
"A large find of 1962 aluminum sheets was noted in an SCD ad in the January 31, 1986 issue where Mid-Atlantic Coin Exchange was selling 1962 Baseball Green Tint plates (second series). They also had a number of 1962 Hockey plates as well. All of these had been cut from the original, larger aluminum sheets used to make the cards. However, at least two partial sheets have survived from the Hockey run"

I believe they came from a Topps printer in Hampden, Connecticut and were found at the home of a former employee there.
