Further supporting evidence.
#64 Ostrowski ("Series 2") above #72 Tittle ("Series 3").
#60 MacAfee above 100 Sandusky ("Series 4")
This expands the sequences to:
1-32 above
33-64 above
65-96 above
33-64 above
1-32 above
65-96 (possibly 97-128)
AND
33-64
97-128
Personally, I am sold that the only sensible explanation of the evidence is a scheme like the 1955 Bowman baseballs - cards removed from sheets to make way for new ones, making the series a rotating mix and a lot more complicated than rather straightforward Topps series. It will be hard to prove on an absolute basis without full sheets, miscuts can only get to a preponderance of the evidence standard for this kind of sheet sequencing.
1953 Bowman is probably a straightforward sheet with 96 different subjects, but not all appearing the same number of times (I suspect a true full sheet, not a partial panel, will reveal 'extras' of 1-32).
1954 - not enough evidence at present for any conclusions.
