Thanks for the props everyone. Time to post the series 2 sheets. Not sure which 132 card 1/2 sheet is A and which is B so will go in alphabetic order.

First is the AFC sheet. I had to piece together the sheet based off a 66 card (rows 2 thru 7) panel and then miscuts/salesman samples. Thanks to Mike at nearmintcards for creating the layout below.

The red CL printed with series 1 is found in rows 6 and 7. When miscut it can be found with either a white strip on the left or top (series 1), a red/blue left edge or a blue/red left edge. Miscut Bob Griese's can be found with a white left edge or a red left edge. M. Lane a white right edge or a red right edge. Then the row 1/6/7/12 miscut logic works as described for the rest of the applicable cards.

Here's the 2nd series NFC sheet. Based off a 55 card panel and the study of miscuts. Note the card in row 3 & 10 column 7 should be Mike Bragg punter for the Redskins not the Saints player shown. Miscut logic described with AFC series 2 sheet can be used too as Jim Bakken, D. Jones and Jim T. can have different colored edges. Thanks again to Mike for creating the layout. John

All I can say is: WOW! Thank you for sharing your research again. That must have been one painstaking effort for you guys to piece together off miscuts

I acquired a few more big binders this week. I already had many 9 pocket sheets in preparation for this weekend when I had carved out some time to sort my 71's.

I put a thousand or so more cards away. I lined up the slots for 38 sets. There are still a lot of open holes in these binders. It's like starting over LOL.

17 full.
21 in progress.
(A dozen of those active 21 only need the big stars)

Yet, still no Bartirome

At this point, you might as well go for an even 50

I have a complete set of this as well. Probably my favorite Topps Set of the 70's. I remember buying packs, cello packs and also rack packs to complete them. I specifically remember buying a rack pack because I needed the Andy Russell All Star Card... and he was on top. Lo and behold when I opened the rack pack another one was underneath one of the stacks!
