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

[Kevvyg1026]

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!

I hope this one hasn't already been posted. ETA: yep, it was back in post #166, maybe someone can figure it out with a back scan.

[Kevvyg1026]

I expect Howser to be above 559 Pena, but can not tell for certain from the scan.

Not wanting to lose focus on this great thread, I haven't found anything more yet. I'm trying to look for border lines on the right of cards to maybe pin down all 7 right border cards. I know we have some looking for others, In particular w sox checklist with lines.

I am fairly certain that the four card strip 582, 597, 592, 549 belongs in the Taylor row because all four are readily available (i.e., non SPs). And although I haven't found 549 with the border marking yet, I suspect it is at the edge of the sheet.

If that four card strip (582, 597, 592, 549) is in the Taylor row, then any miscut under 582, 597, 592, or 549 would allow us to place cards in the Salmon row. The card under 582 is a key card, because if it is Franks (537), then we have strong evidence that the four card strip is indeed in the Taylor row since Franks is in column 8 of the Salmon row.

Now for some real speculation: We have a 3 card strip, 598, 583, 569 with 595 under 598 and 523 under 583. I speculate that 595 & 523 are also in the Taylor row, occupying columns 6 & 7, with 582, 597, 592, 549 occupying columns 8, 9, 10, & 11 in that same row.

It would be very satisfying if a miscut of 523 (Sadowski) was found with 582 (Roggenburk) next to it. Similarly, a miscut of 523 with Jackson (595) on its left would be significant validation, as would a miscut of Jackson (595) having 542 (Smith) on its left. Even a miscut of 569 showing 582 below it would be very helpful information.

If evidence for the above can be found, then this would allow us to place 598, 583, & 569 in the Hoerner row as the cards in columns 6, 7, & 8.
