OK - last time (hopefully), a new version with another reversed image corrected...any more and I will say "Ah ha! We've discovered a long-overlooked error card!"

I think you got it this time .

Here's a faux slit from the high series of 1966 Topps...the checklist variation with "White Sox Rookies" is shown here, but on the real 7th series sheets it was likely the "W. Sox Rookies" variant.

Wow Dewey that looks great>

Beautiful! The core layout is the same as the 1966 High Number thread other than Mahaffey and Cuellar being flipped. The Northrup, Taylor, and Salmon rows are the 4x, the Perranoski, Mantilla, Hoerner, and G. Jackson rows are 3x.

From detective work done by others, this is a composite of what one of the 4th series slits from 1962 looked like:

On the 1966 7th Series - I'm building a set now, and am wondering about the reliability of all the "SP" designators floating around out there.

What is the prevailing wisdom on the layout of the other slit?

Great work! The 1962 set is different than other sixties set, bordering cards can be determined by the wood grains that they share with the card above, below, or beside them, and when rows of cards with completely different wood grains were married together with a line dividing them.

I think the bottom row of that 66 series 7 faux slit should be headed by the Grant rookie, not Perranowski

Correcting the previously-posted 1966 7th series sheet as noted above (and, it turns out, as related to me by Cliff and mis-read by yours truly when putting the sheet together).

So if this slit goes:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
A
B
C
D
E

Presumably the other would be:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
A
B
C
F
G

Sound correct?

If so, I'll keep it to myself - I just nabbed both Oliver and Olivo for under $10, a Purkey for maybe $13, and recently a Kroll for $15.

Perfect! The other 1966 7th Series Slit goes:

C. Northrup
F. Perranoski
G. Cardinals Rookie Stars (Hoerner)
A. T Taylor
B. Salmon
C. Northrup
D. Mantilla
E. NL Rookie Stars (G. Jackson)
F. Perranoski
G. Cardinals Rookie Stars (Hoerner)
A. T Taylor
B. Salmon

The 4x rows are Northrup, T Taylor, and Salmon, the 3x rows are Perranoski, Cardinals Rookie Stars (Hoerner), Mantilla, and NL Rookie Stars (G Jackson).

Thanks again to the research of others, here is one slit of the full-series sheet:
