For series with 110 cards, Topps would have used a print pattern of 4 rows printed 3x each and six rows printed 2x each across the sheet, which was split into two slits of 132 cards. Only one slit of each series is shown.
If the 2nd slit is examined, you can see that for series 2, the rows with Yaz, Nossek, Gibson, & Reichardt as the leading cards were the rows printed 3x each, with the remaining six rows printed 2x each.
I haven't seen the 2nd slit from series 1, so I only know that the Lonborg & Krause rows were printed 3x, but I don't know which of the other two rows were printed 3x.

Thank you Kevvyg1026. This is helpful. This is consistent with what Bob Cacamese explained to me in the past. Each series in the Topps 1969 set was printed in 2 sheets and I am only showing one sheet (slit) for each series. I'll try to search for other sheets (for the 1st and 2nd series) to see if I can make sense of the collation. Not sure if I'll be able to predict which cards are sandwiched between the front and back cards in each slot, but I'll explore.
