1967 Topps 6th Series

[Cliff Bowman]

Don't hold your breath, they still have these listed as SP's when we proved they aren't from the 1966 7th Series thread, Jerry Adair, Willie Davis, Willie McCovey, Jim Northrup, Dave Roberts, and Billy Williams.

Dean's Cards has 42 cards from the 1967 Topps 5th Series listed as Double Prints from #373 to #457. The 1967 Topps 5th Series has 88 cards, there are no SP's or DP's from an 88 card Series, they are each printed three times over two Slits. I wouldn't put much stock in their knowledge of SP's and DP's.

Perez has been listed as an SP practically since the day the set was issued. Not sure of the origin or if its even a tough card relative to the rest of the series.

[Cliff Bowman]

It’s difficult to tell whether star cards are SP’s from 77 card Series based on quantities, if a couple of commons were known that are on the same row as the 1967 Tony Perez we could get an idea but there are so few miscuts and no known partial sheets of the 1967 Topps 6th Series that it’s about impossible to tell.

The POP report suggests which of the commons might be the SP's. I don't trust it either for evaluating stars here like Perez. Palmer/Killebrew/McCovey have more. Marichal has about the same, Mazeroski significantly less.

Evidence that Perez is a SP seems to be non-existent at this point in time.

The Battersbox has the #476 Perez listed as SP, too.

With 77 cards, there are 33 cards printed 4 times and 44 cards printed 3 times. There were plenty of 6th series cards printed where it doesn't make a difference if a card is in the shorter run. For set collectors, these cards are available. Only when the series is in short supply like in 1966 and 1967 7th series, does being shorter supply make a difference. Mickey Mantle is a DP in 1966 Topps, it doesn't make that card cheap.
