The sizes were fairly consistent. 1/16th seems a bit too much of a difference.
The Schmidt really seems to be missing blue. Combining that with the size difference makes me think someone cut up an unfinished sheet. That was pretty common at the time, full sheets could be had for most Topps sets from various sources, usually with problems. Wrong backs, unfinished sheets etc and many of them got cut into individual cards.
Sounds like a really good pickup even if just part of the set is that way.
I'd open it up and go through them, but that's just me. I don't recall which set I have. I know I have one of them complete.

However, I noticed approx. 1/4 of my cards are "oversized" by approx. 1/16th of an inch. Perhaps the cards were miscut on the left edge.
Is this standard? Or perhaps the other cards are trimmed....but I don't think so.
