Reconstructing the 1963 Topps 6th and 7th Series Sheets

[Cliff Bowman]

Here is a list of all known wrong backs in 1963 6th Series. They are invaluable because if you know the placement of one side of the card on the sheet you can place the other side of the card on the opposite side of the sheet. The back card is from a back sheet that was printed upside down to the front of the sheet.

After all of the fantastic work Kevvyg1026 did on figuring out the 1963 Topps 5th Series A and B sheets I figured I would show the cards themselves on the sheets. This is the top half of the Slit A sheet.

Thank you, it is so beautiful to see what those colorful slits look like. The 2nd slit will repeat rows 5 to 8, that is the yellow and green border ones, then have all 8 rows again. I.e. the four red, two yellow, and two green.
