Cards with colored borders, particularly where the colors are variated, as with these woodies, are extremely hard to match up, and the fact that any images you can find are all slightly different - off-center, tilt cuts, etc. - mean that this image is best appreciated from a distance.

If you zoom in it will likely ruin your eyes.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Fantastic! There is a partial sheet of six rows (66 cards) known but as far as I know the other four rows (44 cards) were not known. What is odd about this Series is that the four rows chosen to be 3x don't contain any big name star cards, the Maris, Banks, Killebrew, Spahn, Musial, Clemente, Cepeda, Mathews, Koufax, B Robinson. Hodges, and Manager's Dream cards are all 2x. The 3x rows are NL Wins Leaders, Barragon, AL Batting Leaders, and Hal Jones, the 2x rows are Spahn, L Jackson, L Green, Maris, N Fox, and Snyder.

Saw this 1957 Series 2 sheet in the current REA auction. Not sure if it is known yet or not. Nice that includes Mick.

From the auction description - "This full sheet originates from the famous Al Rosen find of 1957 Topps sheets discovered years ago, almost all of which were very heavily damaged. Some full sheets and many partial sheets in various conditions were salvageable, including this one, which despite its condition problems, is actually one of the better examples we have seen, and displays beautifully."

I had not seen that almost complete sheet. However, I had seen two partials of 66 cards each, which had given me sufficient info to determine the layouts of the two slits. Still, it is nice to have confirmation. Thanks!

Now, if only something would show up for series 3 or series 5!
