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

There is also this miscut which suggests that 538 (Allen) is adjacent to the checklist (517). So, if 517 is at an edge (highly likely), this means that the combo 538/517 is either at the end of the Perranowski row or at the end of the Shirley row.

That is some crazy detective work ! I am so impressed by the progress of this thread. Good luck completing the last couple cards.

Finally something. While I wait to figure out how to scan the high I bought a while back, there is a miscut 569 and 556 on ebay under greg morris. Bidding on both, however the 556 Queen has a hit of the card below on the back. To me it looks like oliver below queen, but sleuths weigh in.

This is comparing the visible sliver to a #541 also being offered by GM, and it doesn't seem to be match (I checked a whole bunch of other ones, too), but there are enough bumps and dots in the black area (and that single black 'line' presumably over "YEAR" in the pink area) to hopefully lead to a clear match with another card...

It�s not Gene Oliver, the Oliver always has two distinctive bumps on the left edge of the peach color area, especially the bottom corner which protrudes out noticeably.

Got it. Also the miscut #569 in the same auction is also in play. looking for the card to it's immediate right on the sheet and this card presents some hints. For #556, there are only a few options here of missing places it could go, that's if all others are properly placed. On thing, since the G Jackson row is at the bottom of one sheet but is also not at the bottom of another sheet then I could still be in that row.
For the longest time I've been fixated on the checklist placing and still haven.t got much on that card. Glad to finally find some clues on Queen.

I think it is #590 Bill Skowron under Queen. Can you do a mash up of the miscut Queen and a 66 Skowron from Greg Morris Cards to see if it's a match?

i think your right. how about the right edge of #569?

JollyElm · #9 07-10-2021, 06:17 AM

I think it's a swing and a miss, unfortunately...

All Skowron cards have a stray line from the artwork that goes outside the box. There appears to be a matching stray line on the McFarlane scan but I don't think the scan is good enough to confirm. Maybe JollyElm can do a mashup of the McFarlane miscut and a Greg Morris Skowron card to see if they line up? It would be best for someone to win the McFarlane card and then put it next to a Skowron card and see if it lines up.
