This indeed is true. John I think the only DP's would be on either semi high or high number sheet, although Anthony's 44 x 3 array could refute this. Were you able to rustle those up?

Still have the Nolan Ryan I pulled out of the pack

I remember trying to complete the 1st Series and they only card I needed was #24 Dick Selma....Spent every cent I had buying packs trying to get that last card to finish the Series....Every box on my checklist was filled in except that one box....#24

Never did get one.....finally got it at one of the old Power Memorial card shows way back when.....SIGH,,, memories

Just like you, I bought a ton of 1st series packs and needed just #102 Joe Rudi to finish, but never got him. When I see that card, I still feel the need to buy it (big urge to hoard it) even though I got it many years ago for my set.

70 was the year I was born. It’s just about my favorite set.

I feel the exact same way about the 1972 Gil Hodges card.

Finally found half of the high series, printed in the 44x3 style, the other half sheet would be print in the same style with the other 44 high series cards. Note the 7th series CL was printed with the 6th series therefore it is a DP

Wowsers-ok, where is Rich Klein!? He will want to see this.

I love evidence like that. Guess no 1970 hi number is scarce

Count me as a fan...the gray borders feel solid to me for some reason. And the backs are pleasant just because they're so easy to read.

Love the pics of the inserts, rack pack, sheets, etc. Thanks for sharing everyone.
