77 cloth stickers puzzle questions
 
Ok, I know this is a bit crazy, but...
Does anyone have a cloth stickers puzzle/checklist uncut sheet or know the sheet layouts?
And
has anyone made a list of the cropping varieties on these?

I picked up a bunch of them recently, and I'm sorting them out by the varieties, and I keep finding more. I think maybe each puzzle was cropped differently- And in trying to figure out just how many to look for, it occurred to me that the puzzles don't fit evenly on a 132 card sheet.
So there's either
A header card I haven't seen
a possibility that they just trimmed off a cards worth of cardboard
or they printed a row of puzzle parts that won't match up
or they printed something else.

I have another question that might explain your problem on the regular set there is either 1 astrick or 2 astericks by the copyright line does the same hold true for the puzzles?

Yes, That's true for the puzzles too, as well as a lot of the mid 70's smaller topps sets like hockey, team checklists etc.

I have a theory that it marks which half of the double sheets the cards were from. On the puzzles, one of the varieties seems a bit tougher than another, but my sampling is only about 500 cards.
