1975 Topps Minis

Bringing it back to the original post subject because I want to put the train back on track.

Does anyone else feel that the 75 minis were of a stricter quality control that their regular sized counterparts? While hundreds of miscuts and wrong backs flipped print sheets exist on eBay daily, the errors are far less seen in the minis. As an error collector I am checking for severe errors fairly consistently and have noted this.

I feel it lends credence that unlike an general test looking to be an additional topps line the printer may have saw this as a possible bigger contract if the real thought was changing the future size of cards for cost saving

I wonder if the size let them print three sheets on the same size stock as the regular two sheets side by side format.

If the ones I have are any indicator, the QC may have weeded out major miscuts etc, but the centering wasn't improved at all.
