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

[BillP]

I really believe Skowron, Cuellar and Snyder in that order are together. They came up for auction about 2 months ago. All showing borders of one side. I won the skowron and the snyder, but the cuellar was the key to fit them altogther. could believe somebody outbid me.
Still think those 3 are in order somewhere here. There all reasonably tough.

Those three cards may very well had been cut from the same exact sheet and a kid pulled all three from the same pack back in 1966, but the Snyder is confirmed to be the second card on the Perranoski row between Perranoski and R. Pena.

Ah, right. I try to look at some of these lots as from the original buyer from packs bought at the same time. Makes sense that the sheet itself would produce similar cuts but not necessarily indicate position on the sheet.
Trying to solve card 517 as well. Most agree that it's on the right side and we know it's an SP. Best I can get right now is the colored line on the right. Nothing on the left to indicate next card over.

I thought work had been done earlier to show that Tigers team was below one of the cards that hadn't been placed? By looking at the back of the card for clues.

Post #313 and #318 seem to validate that 586 raymond is above Tigers team. Guys, please weigh in.

This is what I believe the two half-slits looked like for the 1966 Topps series 7 print run. I have placed the Raymond card above the Tigers team but don't have enough info for the Skowron, Cueller, checklist, as well as a few others (e.g., Queen). We know that 532 and 552 are next to each other, and that 517 (W. Sox variation) is at the end of a row. We also know that 576 is above a Mgr or Rookie card.

I wonder if every card on the right side vertical row other than the checklist turns out to be a two player rookies card, every one of them is so far and there are three not known yet and one of them is the checklist.

[Kevvyg1026]

The missing cards from my speculative layout are: 517, 528, 532, 538, 541, 552, 556, 566, 570, 576, & 590. None of the missing cards appear to be Rookie cards.

Of the seven unique rows, all 11 cards are known in four of them (headed by Northrup, Taylor, Salmon, and Mantilla). There are three unknown cards in the Jackson row, five cards in the Perranowski row, and 3 cards in the Hoerner row.

I tend to believe, without supporting evidence though, that 532/552 combo and 517 are in the row headed by Perranowski and that 576 is the last card in the Hoerner row.

I also suspect that 541 (Oliver) is not in column 11, based on a tiny sliver of a miscut I've seen and the same goes for for 590 (Skowron).

I've seen 570 with a faded black line near the top of the card, but I don't know if that is a recurring defect or simply a scan artifact.

I've seen Cuellar (566) with a shift (yellow was evident), which is comparable to the same type of shift I've seen on 598 (Perry), so perhaps 566 is in the Hoerner row, along with Perry.

And Queen (556) is sometimes found with an unusually wide right border, suggesting that it might be at the right edge, perhaps in the Jackson row.

However, I caution that the above card placements are speculations only, as I have not located definitive miscuts.

[Kevvyg1026]

Snyder is in column 2 so it must be a different card you are thinking about.

[BillP]

Seems like the only 2 cards in play below Nicholson 576 can either be 549 or 552. Does that back black bar on either of those cards highlight anything that could place 576?

[Kevvyg1026]

I agree with that 576 should be above 552 or 549. If 576 is above 549, then 576 is at the end of the Hoerner row. If 576 is above 552, then it could be in several places, including possibilities in each of the three rows.

And the card to the left of the checklist appears to exhibit some blue sky (see post # 314), so that could be 528, 538, 541, 552, 556, 566, 570, 576, or 590 as possibly in column 10 rows B (Perranowski), C (Hoerner) or G (Jackson).

Can you post the miscuts where you think Skowron, Cueller, and another card are in a strip of 3?

[BillP]

Still looking for that thread on ebay, however I thought I would bring up another tidbit. Card 559 Pena appears with and without a blue dot in the bottom right corner. Probably a difference in the 2 sheets.

[bb66]

Bill good point about the 559 Pena blue dot. I have one with and two without it. I will look for that in the future. Thanks

There are currently 11 cards (517, 528, 532, 538, 541, 552, 556, 566, 570, 576, and 590) whose placements in the 1966 high series sheet are unknown. What is known is that 517 is in C11, that 532 is adjacent to 552, and that 576 (Nicholson) is above either a mgr or RC.

This miscut of card #556 shows that it is above a regular card, not a RC or Mgr. Sorry about poor quality, but it was the only one I found on Worthpoint. Since, Column 11 has 574, 549, 553, 539, (all RCs) and 517 (checklist) in it, it is unlikely, but not impossible for Queen (556) to be in C11.

1. I haven't seen other 1966 highs with the blue dot. Are there any?

2. I have seen severe diamond cuts on 590, 566, 556, & 586 but not the Snyder.

3. I have seen multiple copies of #598 (perry) with varying degrees of white clouds on it, but haven't seen other cards with those artifacts.

4. The checklist (517) has a card on its left that has a large amount of blue sky.
