On the pre-1977 sheets, every card has either a single or double asterisk on the reverse. Can you explain further on what this means? I was told by another sheet collector that it meant the card was from a sheet that was updated after the start of the production run.
Thanks.

A sheet was 264 cards made up of 132 card half sheets, called slits. There is an A slit and a B slit. One slit has one *, the other two **. They did this so the art dept in Brooklyn would know which slit the cards came from; it may also have indicated which part of a slit a card came from, depending upon the series or set size. It has nothing to do with an update.
