'66 Topps short prints
Is there any consensus on whether or not some of these "short prints" really are SP's? For example, the Billy Williams #580. This is a card I would normally gravitate to, as I'm a Cubs fan and vintage Cubs collector - but of course most '60s Billy Williams cards normally go for a fraction of what you see this one listed for. But is it really that rare? Right now I count at least 20 of them for sale in various grades on eBay. I know there have been some cases where "rarities" at first later turn out to be "don't believe the hype" stories. But this may be true only for more recent cards.
