I may stand corrected; are there 17 or 18 subjects? Luf.tig's article adds a Jem Smith card missing from some other checklists and not on this sheet. PSA has it in their list, too, so it's not just David's. Jones does not list him. Smith is a logical subject, he appears in some of the other black border Ogden's cards.
I could not find any other uncut material or miscuts that connect Leading Athletes series cards to another of the individually named series.
Points in favor of a production sheet:
A) No alignment marks or other marks indicating a testing purpose.
B) Fully printed backs.
C) The Craig card is not the Each Packet version.
Points in favor of a pre-production test of some kind:
A) Impractically small sheet for mass production.
B) Surviving cards do not show white border remnants that should be common if this was the sheet.
