Thanks for posting the sheet. Very interesting. Also of note is that all the cards regularly regarded as 'SP' (except the Mick Mantle) are on the left border of the sheet. I wonder how those cards got labeled as 'SP' to begin with??
Even now, this is a great vintage set for a new collector (maybe a young son) to start out with.
