Another member here, Kevin, and I rebuild '50s and '60s Topps production sheets that aren't currently known. We just very recently reconstructed three missing rows from a partial 1958 Topps 1st Series sheet and Maris was one of those 33 missing cards, The problem is we have Maris in the fourth column of one of those three previously missing rows and Wynn is in the tenth column of an already known row, that doesn't work with your card if it is a wrong back because if the entire back of the sheet was printed upside down like the vast majority of wrong backs are then Maris would line up with the eighth card of another row, not the tenth like Wynn is. I believe this Maris wrong back is actually a very well cut card from a Salesman Sample 3 card panel and was purposely printed with a Wynn back like this Salesman Sample 3 card panel. Otherwise we have a mistake in our 3 row reconstruction.
