Topps Uncut Sheets

[Kevvyg1026]

This is by no means complete, but this is what I know about the 60s sheets.

a. 1961 - I have seen one slit of series 5 and most of a slit for series 7 (enough to reconstruct the slit). I haven't seen any work done on the 6th slits.

b. 1962 - I have seen a 4 row panel and a 3 row panel for series 7, so the row placement of all 77 cards is known, but I haven't seen the slits put together. I am not aware of any 6th series work.

c. 1963 - the work done by Cliff Bowman, with a tiny bit of my help, has established the printing patterns for all series, including the 5th, 6th, and 7th.

d. 1964 - I have seen a sufficient amount of uncut material to know that series 1 through 5 can be established but I haven't seen much for series 6 or 7.

e. 1965 - Series 1 through 5 are known and one slit of series 7 is known. I have some strong suspicions about the 2nd slit for series 7 but need a few additional miscuts to confirm. I haven't seen much work for series 6.

f. 1966 - The print pattern for series 1 through 4 are known. Series 5 is mostly known (14 cards remain to be placed). There are numerous miscuts for series 6, but I haven't seen a slit for series 6. Series 7 is now known due to the work of many contributors from this forum.

g. 1967 - There is a sufficient amount of material know to establish the print pattern for series 1 through 5. There is very little material for series 6. One slit is known for series 7 and a five row panel for the other slit is known. I suspect that the 7th series has a pattern of 1 row x5 (Pinson), 1 row x4 (Rohr), and the other 5 rows x3, but this has not been firmly established.

h. 1968 - There is enough material known to establish the sheet patterns for series 1 through 5 and 7. One slit is known for series 6 and there is also some uncut material for series 6 but the 2nd slit is not completely established so the SPs aren't yet known.

i. 1969 - I am aware of one slit for series 1, both slits for series 2, one slit for series 4, one slit plus 4 rows of the other for series 5, both slits for series 6, and I only have a few miscuts from series 7.

Hopefully, other members can add to this or correct and mistakes I have made.
