You need actual half sheets or remnants to possibly ID the actual slit. Topps had them marked A and B by the printer but I'm not sure when that started and you need some luck to find those markings in the margins.

And the */** markings seems to start with 1971 baseball, so no help there.

I will deem this thread great if we ever get the sellers to use it and stop fantasizing that Grant Jackson is a SSP with a 10x premium in low grade .

Great effort by all involved

Ever since the 1966 Topps 7th Series sheet layout was finished in this thread 18 months ago I have suspected there was a flaw in the final layout but I wasn't going to say anything until I found proof otherwise. I finally found a severely miscut Art Mahaffey on eBay last night that shows him above John Sullivan rather than Andre Rodgers, it has been my belief that Mahaffey and Mike Cuellar who are side by side on a 3x row needed to be flipped. Since they are both on the same row everything remains the same as to who is a 4x and who is a 3x. The pics show that the two lines on the back match up perfectly with Sullivan and the bulge in the Sullivan box matches the bulge on the card on the Mahaffey miscut. Andre Rodgers has a much larger stat box and is not a match at all for the card under Mahaffey. ETA another factor is the team banner under Mahaffey on the miscut is yellow rather than the pinkish red of a Pirates team banner.

I’m hoping for a revised 1966 Topps 7th Series Sheet to be the next 132 card Slit on the next installment on the other thread.

I found 20 miscut 1966 high numbers where you can see the card to the left, having issues loading pics. Craig

Awesome! Do any of them conflict with what we have?

Here are the 1966 Topps 7th Series miscuts that new member Buckeye1 has to contribute to the thread.

I wasn't involved when you guys sussed out the 7th series, but each of these seem to confirm your conclusions - good work!

He doesn't have any from the 6th series does he? Or maybe the 1965 6th????

I asked him if he has any miscuts from 1955 3rd, 1957 5th, 1965 6th, or 1966 6th, hopefully he does.
