Default 1958 series 6

Here are the 5 strips from series 6. We have not yet been able to determine the slit patterns for the series 6 printings since there are a number of row changes that appear to occur.

The strips shown are the "newer" ones. The original strips must have contained four missing cards, identified as SPs in guides. These were cards 443 (Harrell), 446 (Hardy), Ward (450), and 462 (Geiger).

These four cards were removed (apparently) during later printings and extra Mantle AS (487) and Musial AS (476) cards were substituted.

I suspect that Harrell and Geiger were removed and two additional Musial AS cards substituted. I also suspect that Hardy and Ward were removed and extra Mantle AS cards substituted.

To support this conjecture, there is a Geiger miscut with an edge marking in the same location as a mark on a Musial miscut (and a Jensen miscut), while there is a miscut Ward with Hardy on his left.
