That was great. I had no idea they got printed that way. I would have guessed all on one sheet.

Thank you for posting the link and writing the article.

Thank you. I must admit the combo of 20 and 15 still seems strange to me, but at the moment it seems to fit what’s out there. Am hoping some new sheets come to light that offer added insight.

Hey Jason, not exactly what you`re looking for but being a fan of the Williams set and The 3 Stooges thought this was a cool uncut scrap sheet. Great sheet you have Sir.

I've thought for years that the uncut panels were promotional or sales items.

If you're making a very large batch of cards a small sheet size isn't the best way to go.
What makes more sense, and fits the layout you've figured out is two "panels" of 40 5x8 cards on a single sheet with a wide margin in between them.

This 20 card panel shows portions of additional cards along one side.

Doing it that way makes the printing reasonable, and the cutting easier. It even makes removing the 68 easier depending on how they did the cutting.

I remember way back when at the Philly shows in Willow Grove and Ft Washington, there was a fellow walking around the show selling uncut Ted Williams strips as well as 1960 Fleer Football strips to dealers.
