However, I don't believe in creating myths to fill in factual gaps, either. Our hobby is prone to mythmaking to explain inconsistencies, knowledge gaps, etc. There are no facts explaining where the Graziano card sat on the original sheet. As someone who attempts to catalog the facts relating to these cards, I try to divorce myth, fiction and assumptions from fact.

With regard to printing stock, once again, you are letting your conclusions run away from the facts. What we know about the cards are that they were offered on two stocks. What you have assumed is that the white stock went first because the Graziano is on the white stock. That doesn't meant the white stock came first. It means that the sheet(s) with Graziano were run on white stock. For all we actually know, both kinds of stock were used at the same time.
