Since the Ed Brown row is above three different rows, Tasseff, Bingham, Carpenter, I don't think there is any way possible for it to work on one 264 card super sheet of two 132 card slits. I came up with a possible scenario of two different 264 card super sheets with one having two 132 card slits of the 1st Series 1-88 that would go:

Tasseff
T Rote
Stonesifer
Retzlaff
Watkins
McCormack
Tarasovic
E Brown
Tasseff
T Rote
Stonesifer
Retzlaff

and the other one would go:

Watkins
McCormack
Tarasovic
E Brown
Tasseff
T Rote
Stonesifer
Retzlaff
Watkins
McCormack
Tarasovic
E Brown

and then the other 264 card super sheet would have two 132 card slits that contain both the 1st Series 1-88 and the 2nd Series 89-144 with one slit going:

Tasseff
T Rote
Stonesifer
Retzlaff
Watkins
McCormack
Tarasovic
E Brown
Bingham
Nickel
Carpenter
Bratkowski

and the other:

Hornung
McElheeny
Tasseff
T Rote
Stonesifer
Retzlaff
Watkins
McCormack
Tarasovic
E Brown
Carpenter
Bratkowski

This would satisfy the three known row changes and explain why there are no known cards above the Hornung row or under the Bratkowski row. The only possible problem I have is that the quantities of the 1st Series cards 1-88 should be noticeably higher than the 2nd Series DP rows of Carpenter and Bratkowski but they don't seem to be. ETA maybe Topps printed many more of the two slits with all 144 cards than the two slits with only 1-88.
