Can't disagree. Reminds me of when my daughter was in high school and was reading in the living room while I watched Star Trek. I started reciting the dialogue lines before they were uttered and she closed her book, stood up with large bug eyes, and backed out of the room.

Speaking of which, I bought this not long ago.

I think I ran across a player who would top McCovey, perennial 60's Topps high number Johnny Klippstein. He averaged out to 431.25. I originally came up with 414.25, but I double checked and now I come up with 431.25.
These are Klippstein's card numbers for 1960's Topps:
1960-191
1961-539
1962-151
1963-571
1964-533
1965-384
1966-493
1967-588
I came up with a total of 3.450, and that divided by 8 (years) came out to 431.25, which beats McCovey. If someone wants to double check please do, I messed up my first try.

I was looking through 1966 Topps semi high numbers on eBay and COMC for possibly creating a virtual original uncut sheet for that series but had to call it off for a lack of miscuts available, but when I noticed that Johnny Klippstein was #493 it popped in my head that he had numerous high numbers in the 60's so I went back to this thread and tallied up his aggregate number.

Amazing and congratulations! I'm glad you weren't spending the last month or so methodically tallying up every players' card numbers.
