Looks fantastic! This one is held together with duct tape and baling wire so I have my fingers crossed. Each row is in alphabetical order other than the last card in each row with two exceptions, Billy Consolo and Chuck Tanner. We will probably never know if Consolo and Tanner were last second replacements for players that Topps couldn’t get under contract. I don’t know how the other slit goes. The Adams row, the Bauer row, and the two Baumholtz rows all have roughly the same quantities, but the Berra row has noticeably higher quantities than the other four rows.
