I'm not talking about the checklist and series lagging stuff they pulled in the sixties but true sub-outs and new press runs.
And I'm not sure if this helps or not but Sam Rosen, who was Woody Gelman's stepfather and surely had the SP/DP info to pass to him, had this unique pricing breakdown in his July 1958 sales list:

Thank you for replying! I was actually reading through your blog before I posted. I appreciate all the info you provided there.
So far, here are some of the pairings found in series 1. Interestingly, Billy Klaus is #89 and Clemente is #52 so they were printed together. Clemente is also next to Eddie Kasko #8.
Lee Walls #66 is next to George Kell #40 based on the stats on the back
Al Kaline #70 is next to Billy hunter #98.
