Rich, here is a breakdown (summary) by card.

Row A, headed by Northrup, has 554, 568, 584, 581, 534, 558, 573, 536, 529, 572, and 574. Based on recent ebay POP report (July 23), the average availability for cards in this row was 61.2, with a standard deviation of 19.5. The high was 94, the low 34, and median was 69.

Row B, headed by Perranowski, has cards 555, 562, 559, 564, & 561, plus 6, as yet unidentified cards. I suspect one card is 517, W. Sox variation. The ebay Pop report provides: Avg - 31.2, StD - 12.2, High - 55, low - 18, med - 28, with the large variation driven by the relatively high count of 564 (Chance).

Row C, headed by Hoerner rookie, has cards 544, 565, 547, 546, and 525. The ebay Pop report provides: Avg - 27.2, StD - 3.9, High - 31, low - 21, med - 27

Row D, headed by Taylor, has 585, 530, 560, 571, 542, and most likely 582, 597, 592, and 549, plus two more, as yet unidentified with certainty. The ebay POP report yields Avg - 74.3, StD - 21.2, High - 121, low - 50, med - 74.

Row E, headed by Salmon, has 594, 535, 575, 580, 550, 533, 579, and 537, plus three more (suspected to be either 531, 587, 538, or 553). The ebay POP report yields Avg - 55.4, StD - 19.7, High - 88, low - 42, med - 46.5 (both Adair & Franks have high availability).

Row F, headed by Mantilla, has 557, 588, 545, 526, 589, 593, 563, 578, 548, 524, and 539. The ebay POP report yields Avg - 27.0, StD - 14.8, High - 58, low - 12, med - 21. The Tovar rookie is the low availability card.

Row G, headed by Grant Jackson, has 591, 540, 567, 527, 577, 596, 551, and 543, with three positions as yet unidentified. The ebay POP report yields Avg - 30.9, StD - 13.9, High - 53, low - 11, med - 31. Navarro is the card with lowest availability.

Hope that helps.

The 7th series cards whose positions are still unknown 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.

However, as mentioned before, I strongly suspect that the sequence 582, 597, 592, 549 is in the Taylor row (because of the non SP designations and POP reports). I also suspect that the sequence 598, 583, 569 is in row C (headed by Hoerner) with 595 (under 598) and 523 (under 583) in row D (headed by Taylor

Furthermore, I speculate that 517 (W. Sox checklist) is at end of row B (Perranowski) or row C (Hoerner) because it was also printed in the 6th series printing and should therefore be in a SP row plus the checklist historically appeared near the top of one of the half-sheets (slits).

Based on what we know with certainty, Davis (535), Adair (533), Northrup (554), Williams (580), McCovey (550), and Roberts (571) probably do not deserve the SP designation that current price guides provide whereas 563 (Tovar rc), 527 (Navarro), 539 (Astros RC), and 588 (A's rookies) should be designate as SPs.

Does any one know what that broken line is at the top of the Sadowski card?1966_523_top.jpg

My opinion is that there is a half sheet with selected rows: Northrup, Salmon, Taylor at least on it and that on that sheet the row with Sadowski is on the top.
