If you zoom in it will likely ruin your eyes.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Fantastic! There is a partial sheet of six rows (66 cards) known but as far as I know the other four rows (44 cards) were not known. What is odd about this Series is that the four rows chosen to be 3x don't contain any big name star cards, the Maris, Banks, Killebrew, Spahn, Musial, Clemente, Cepeda, Mathews, Koufax, B Robinson. Hodges, and Manager's Dream cards are all 2x. The 3x rows are NL Wins Leaders, Barragon, AL Batting Leaders, and Hal Jones, the 2x rows are Spahn, L Jackson, L Green, Maris, N Fox, and Snyder.
