The 3rd series from 1968 consists of 88 cards. The cards are #192 ("the scores" version) plus cards 197 to 283. The sheet consists of two slits, with each slit having 132 cards. There are 8 different rows of cards, with 11 unique cards in each row. If the 8 different rows are identified as rows A through H, then slit A will have rows A through H, followed by A through D, while slit B will have rows E through H, then A through H.
The positions of all cards in row A and 9/11 in row H have been identified.
Row A is headed by card#230, Pete Rose. The other rows have the following leading cards:
row B: Dodgers Rookies (228)
row C: Norm Cash (256)
row D: Cubs Rookies (258)
row E: Jim Roland (276)
row F: Carroll Sembera (207)
row G: Checklist 4 (278)
row H: Moe Drabowsky (242)
The right end cards have mostly been identified. These are:
row A: Dark (237)
row B: Yaz checklist (192)
row C: Davis (265)
row D: TBD (currently suspect Satriano, #270, but needs to be confirmed)
row E: Alou (270)
row F: Brown (223)
row G: Rollins (243)
row H: Sanguillen (251)
In addition, the presence of the white lines on some cards has been identified as follows: cards in row A & E sometimes exhibit the line at the top. Cards in row D & H sometimes exhibit the white line at the bottom. Rows A & E are at the top of slit A & slit B respectively. while rows D & H occupy the bottom rows of those same slits.
To date, the positions of 50 of the 88 cards have been determined. We have groups of between 2 to 5 of many of the remaining cards, but have not yet positively identified their sheet locations.
