Maybe Topps uses different machinery and couldn't reproduce the same cut?

I doubt Topps would be interested in this project. Topps did NOT release full sheets of their cards in those days. So, technically, they could claim that any full sheets out there were obtained unlawfully. (Although the statute of limitations probably ran out 50+ years ago.)

As a kid, my brothers and I often received many uncut sheets, but they were courtesy of the man who hauled trash from the Topps plant in Brooklyn. Unfortunately, we cut them all up, and not carefully, I might add.
