Ever since the 1966 Topps 7th Series sheet layout was finished in this thread 18 months ago I have suspected there was a flaw in the final layout but I wasn't going to say anything until I found proof otherwise. I finally found a severely miscut Art Mahaffey on eBay last night that shows him above John Sullivan rather than Andre Rodgers, it has been my belief that Mahaffey and Mike Cuellar who are side by side on a 3x row needed to be flipped. Since they are both on the same row everything remains the same as to who is a 4x and who is a 3x. The pics show that the two lines on the back match up perfectly with Sullivan and the bulge in the Sullivan box matches the bulge on the card on the Mahaffey miscut. Andre Rodgers has a much larger stat box and is not a match at all for the card under Mahaffey. ETA another factor is the team banner under Mahaffey on the miscut is yellow rather than the pinkish red of a Pirates team banner.
