Anyone Have Pics of an Uncut 1962 Series 2 Sheet??

[JollyElm]

I believe that Topps basically used two sets of sheets to print each series of cards back in the day. Sometimes cards were included/excluded at different rates across the pair of sheets, creating DP's, SP's, etc. Here is a half(?) sheet from the 1962 second series, 11 cards across and 12 cards down (132 in total). The top 4 rows of cards also appear as the bottom 4 rows. The middle 4 rows stand by their lonesome. Obviously, the other sheet probably wouldn't have matched this one exactly. It most likely would have been reconfigured to double up those middle 4 rows and single out the top/bottom rows to create an equal amount of individual cards??

Does anyone have a picture of the sheet that would have accompanied this one in the printing process? To be clear, I'm not looking for theories or speculation as to what the cards and the sheet configuration looked like (I pretty much stated what it should look like above), but actual photos of said sheet. Can anyone help? Partial sheets would be helpful, too, if they obviously aren't a part of the same type of sheet pictured above. Any help would be appreciated.

Remember that Topps also did an outsourced print run of 1962 series 2. That is where the “green tint” varieties came from. Don’t know if the order of the cards on the outsourced print run is the same, as some of the poses are actually different. Does anyone know if the outsourcing printer resequenced the card order on their sheets?

Generally the other 132-card half sheet contains the cards in the series that you don’t find on the half-sheet you have pictured. It probably would have been in an analogous 3-sets-of-4-rows pattern but with the other series 2 cards that you don’t find in thevdheet picture you posted.

I guess I have to repeat myself...

middle panel has green tint cards and looks to be rows 1, 2 and 3 not 5/6/7 from your pic. John

Awesome! Thank you. Might fit in with my theory of doubling up the middle 4 rows on the other half sheet, assuming the GT printers used the same basic formatting.

Here are the other two pieces I have pictures of. Neither offers any additional insight, unfortunately.

Side note: the horizontal crop marks appear at the bottom of the 4th and 8th rows.

Printing each card 3 times in 44 card blocks was Topp’s SOP for 87/88 card series
