1966 Topps High's - Any uncut sheets or partial sheets known?

[Kevvyg1026]

Here's a miscut of 553. Posted before, but with the issues over the past week, thought I would post again. Any suggestions about what might be next to it?MC_35_553-Rookie-Stars-VG-VGEX.jpg

There are several possibilities. I'm thinking it might be 570, but am open to suggestions.

I have always considered 553 a not very tough get. always off center. How many unknown spots let on the salmon and taylor rows? also knowing that with what cards haven't been placed yet and generally which of those unplaced do folks consider easier or a beckett non sp?

just trying to come at this from another angle. has anyone tried to look for miscut backs for clues?

I've struck out completely on the backs. A tiny sliver of the front is usually enough, due to the color scheme for different teams + the widely different backgrounds at the edges in the posed shot, enough to ID. The backs have to be much further off center to ID which card is adjacent. But then again, I've only found a few and Cliff seems to find 20 a day lol

There are six openings in the Perranowski row, Hoerner row, & Taylor row. There are three openings in both the Salmon & Shirley rows.

However, we have a four-card sequence (582, 597, 592, & 549). I suspect that this sequence is in the Taylor row since none are that hard to acquire (i.e., suspected non-SP). I also suspect that 553 is in this row.

We also have a sequence of 598, 583, & 569 adjacent to each other, with 595 under 598 and 523 under 583.

We have 532 next to 552 and most likely 576 is above 552.

And 517 (checklist) is at the end of a row, and is most likely at end of Perranowski, Hoerner, or Shirley row.

If someone wants to send me the specific card numbers, and where they go, I will be happy to plug the cards into the document I created and post another print sheet layout example. Even if it's just a few cards that are attached. Anything. Just shoot me the proper info and I'll get on it.

I found these two miscuts, and although they don't shed any new light on the 1966 high series print configuration, they do help raise an interesting question. Both of these cards exhibit some marking which highlight that they are at the edge of the sheet.539_edge.jpg

There are 24 cards whose positions on the sheets are still unknown, and five must occupy an end position (since we know the cards at the end of both the Northrup & Mantilla rows). These cards are: 517, 523, 528, 531, 532, 538, 541, 549, 552, 553, 556, 566, 569, 570, 576, 582, 583, 586, 587, 590, 592, 595, 597, & 598.

Based on miscut information, we know that 517 is one of those five. We can eliminate 523, 532, 582, 583, 592, 595, 597, & 598 from consideration because we know there are cards to the right of those. That leaves 15 possible cards (528, 531, 538, 541, 549, 552, 553, 556, 566, 569, 570, 576, 586, 587, & 590) for the remaining four end positions.

If anyone has miscuts of these cards that show edge of sheet markings, please post!
