R306 (Butter Cream) printing
I'm trying to put together a virtual R306 printing sheet, and I've been able to discern a fair amount just based on what I could discern on the edges of miscut cards I've seen. From all the miscut ones I've seen it appears that the players were always aligned alphabetically from left to right but that not all players were included on all printing sheets, which explains, among other things, the difficulty of Ruth. For example, I can see that one section of a row went Ferrell | Foxx | Gelbert | Grove (with Frisch notably absent).
In addition to that section, I've figured out the following sets of printing sheet neighbors:
Klein | Kremer | Lindstrom
Lyons | Martin | O'Farrell
Root | Simmons
Terry | Uhle
Waner, L. | Waner, P.
If you have any other miscut Butter Creams that could shed light on the printing alignment I'd love to see them. I haven't seen any miscuts that reveal another card above or below the miscut card, so it's possible they were printed in single strips rather than in a sheet of rows. If anyone has a miscut to disconfirm that hypothesis I would appreciate that.
