1965 Topps High Series SPs

[Kevvyg1026]

Having reached a standstill on the search to establish the complete sheet for 1966 Series 7 cards, I decided to attempt the same for the 1965 Topps high numbers. This project should be considerably easier since one of the half sheets is known, meaning that the cards in each of the 7 distinct rows are well-established. So the "only" task is to establish the pattern Topps used on the 2nd half sheet.

The first half sheet is shown as one of the attachments. It has the pattern: A, B, C, D, E, A, F, G, B, C, D, E where row A is headed by Gaines (594), row B is headed by Downing (598), row C has Wyatt, row D Twins Rookies, row E Hiller, row F Smith, and row G Broglio.

I have found a number of miscuts which strongly suggest that the Downing row (row B) is at the top of the 2nd half sheet AND that row G is at the bottom of the 2nd sheet.

What I could use help with is to determine whether row C (Wyatt) is above the row A (Gaines) at some point. If it is, then the pattern on the 2nd half-sheet is most likely: B, C, A, F, G, B, C, D, E, A, F, G. This would mean that the SPs are those cards contained in rows D, E, F, & G.

Thus, I am looking for any miscuts that involve either the cards below: 590, 574, 546, 525, 584, 575, 595, 560, 561, 523, or 558

-or- the cards above: 594, 540, 541, 580, 532, 530, 530, 562, 567, 563, 564, or 588.
