1965 series 6 reconstruction
 

This miscut of Law appears to have a wavy right edge, so I suspect he is a RE card.

Well there you go then!

So RE seems to be:

Law 4x
Dodgers Rookies 4x
Braves Rookies 3/4
Javier 3/4
Berra 3x
Mets Rookies 3x
Checklist 7 3x

Based on the counts I have I'd say its still a toss up as to whether Javier and Niekro are 3x or 4x - one has to be each.

With Berra in the RE, this gives us Banks and Boyer in column 10 and Freese in column 9.

Does this all make sense?

I don't think Berra is a RE card. Banks has Berra to his right and Clete Boyer above him. Boyer has Pavletich to his right, so that means Pavletich is above Berra. If Berra is a RE then Pavletich would also have to be a RE. Either that Berra was crudely cut from a sheet or is a bizarre cut flaw, the left side is very uneven too.

Well, crap...sure enough it is.

If Berra, with the wavy cut, is clearly not an edge card, how reliable are our placements of Javier, Law, and Mets Rookies?

Ugh, another one of these pops up but we already know the combo, Gene Freese to the left of Ernie Banks.

Kevin found this one, I believe it has to be Jose Azcue above Joe Christopher, I don't know which other card in the series it can be.

Found this on eBay. Javier has an Indian or Phillie to his left. His counts put him in the "too early to tell" category as to whether he's a 3x or 4x for me. This image doesn't help clear things up because there are possible mates that are clearly 3x and others that are clearly 4x.

Are we still going with him as a RE after the Berra incident?

The reverse of the Javier image just has a razor thin white line that doesn't tell us anything.

Javier is a confirmed RE card because there is a wrong back of him with Eddie Mathews on the reverse, and Mathews is a header card.

Probably the biggest problem with trying to solve this series is the card design itself for the year, 1965. Unlike 1966 and 1967 when you could figure out from the sliver of a miscut card if it is a Rookie Stars card or a team card next to it, you can’t with 1965. It’s going to be very difficult to finish this series.

I haven't seen or heard of that wrong back of Javier/Mathews. Do you have a scan?

Hmm, you're right that it never was posted on this thread. It's been a while but it was listed on eBay with a hefty price but it's long gone, I can't find a trace of it now. Luckily I saved pics of of the front and the back from the listing.

I presume that is Will's under Mathews? I wish there's a wrong back then of the matching card for Wills
