This sheet includes the first group of Hi #s.... #253 - 288. It was mis-cut at the Zabel Bros. printing firm. Here are the card numbers of this mis-cut sheet......

#271 >> 279 (top row)
#280 >> 288 (2nd row)
#253 >> 261 (3rd row)
#262 >> 270 (4th row)

I collect uncut sheets, and all the other sheets of this group that I've seen are straight forward #253 >> 288.

You're right, Ted, of course. This unusual uncut sheet led me to the wrong conclusion, since the cards were not in number sequence.
Do you have any idea how this out-of-sequence sheet could have been printed? It does not seem to be mis-cut, since the printed rows are all correctly aligned, so was it actually mis-printed somehow? In any case, I apologize for assuming it was a regular sheet.
