These sheets correlate to the '55 Stamps as well-I don't have time now but will post what I have in a few days.

My only 55 Stamp. Same size as cards , but a real stamp

Great stuff guys! Keep it coming!

So the REA 5x5 grid (the one with Aaron) correlates perfectly to the 110 card image. That one I've seen. The second 5x5 grid posted is new to me. And there is a correlation problem with the 110 card image. The last column, cards #2 and 3 down, do not appear to match. In fact, the third row down card appears to be another Wally MOON on the 110 image. This is confirmed to also appear on row 10 columns 5 and 11. It may not be the Moon, but it is definitely not the card shown in the second 5x5 image.

Interesting stuff.

I would think that there has to be some uncut sheets of the T'55 set somewhere. I would be intrested in knowing how the cards where placed on the uncut sheets. Does anyone have any info about the way the cards were placed on the sheet?

If you ever have the oppertunity to see the complete set together all lined up it a beautiful sight indeed!

Great addition to the thread Jay

Is it possible that the old REA scan is of the '55 stamps? If you look at the images on that compared to the full color (and amazing) sheet, there are players repeated in columns that are different than that REA shot. Billy Herman is repeated in a different position than on the color sheet, and Carl Spooner shows up in different places on the b&w photo and the 5x5 cut (but not the big color shyer) Also, and less persuasive given the quality of the shot, it appears that the REA shot has perforations around the edges.

Wow! Just Wow! It almost looks like my set when I have it all out lined up next to each other. Thanks for the picture! Looking at this sheet I do not see any pattern. It looks like they were just randomly placed on this sheet.
