Series 1 - no exceptions, 132 diff cards
Series 2 - 2nd series CL is DP from 1st, 131 diff cards
Series 3 - 3rd series CL and coin CL are DP's from series 2, 130 diff cards
Series 4 - 4th series CL is DP from series 3, coin CL is a triple print, 130 diff
Series 5 - 5th series CL is DP from series 4, Missing half of one side of the uncut sheets but I'm pretty sure 9 rows are printed twice (198) and 2 rows are printed 3 times (66). The quasi DPs in series 5 include Yaz, Frank Howard, Jimmy Wynn, Yankees and Mets team cards and Amos Otis.
For the series 6 full 264 card sheet 66 cards are printed twice and 44 cards are printed 3 times. It doesn't look like any of the HOFers in the 6th series are printed 3 times.

Thanks for the replies.
Each 264 card sheet consists of 2 132 card half sheets which look essentially the same. We are assuming each of the 132 card "halves" are essentially mirrors each other. Wasn't is shown that in previous Topps issues, that this was not the case? I don't remember what the discrepancies were, I just remember that each A and B sheet in at least 1 Topps issue were thought not to be the same. This is new stuff for me so thanks for the information.
