What is the rarest topps high numbers ?

[BillP]

Thx John, as far as the 66 highs go, Peranoski is always off center L to R, and Willie Davis #535 top to bottom. And I'll go further to say, as I have before, that the very tough Sp's: Clarke, Coleman, Tigers, #544, #591 are diamond cut a lot. So finding those centered should have been in the top 5. I still say that the 66 Sp's were printed on multiple different sheets with these 5 and a few others by themselves on 1 sheet. p
Off on a tangent here, but I like to here opinions on the 66 highs.

Bill -

I also love the 66 high numbers. It is not the best picture, but here is my uncut partial proof sheet of 12 high numbers, including some SP's.




The Lindblad/Stone Rookie card does not have their positions listed.

I agree with the 66's being the hardest, followed by 67, 62, then 61 but don't think those 61's are nearly as hard, not easy but not as hard. 1952 is highly sought after but with an unlimited budget are much easier to find than any of those 4 60's sets. I remember it taking over a year to finish the last 5 cards in that 1966 set, every Willow Grove show and th e National couldn't find them and then finally got lucky at a show where a guy was breaking a complete set, lucky until he told me the price of those 5 "commons" but finished the hunt.

For me I had tough time finding 1966 Horace Clarke in decent condition at a good price. Especially hard since I am a Red Sox fan
