1966 Topps 6th Series/Semi-Hi's

With this, I think we have all 7 LE and RE cards.

LE:
Aaron
Nuxhall
Fox
Moeller
Skinner
Gonzalez
Cubs Rookies

RE:
6th Checklist
7th Checklist
Hamilton
Wood
Giants Rookies
Carreon
Edwards

Please check my 'math', but I think this is accurate.
Granted we still have no idea which ones are on which rows, but still....

If those are correct then three of each column would be 4x and four of each column would be 3x, Aaron is definitely 4x and the two Checklists are 3x, Gonzalez and Hamilton are probable 4x. That would mean one more left edge (header) card and two more right edge cards would be 4x. ETA: After looking at quantities the other 4x card on the left edge is probably either Nuxhall or Cubs Rookie Stars and the other two right edge 4x card are probably Jake Wood and possibly Giants Rookie Stars.

I'm not completely sure how we came up with Wood or Edwards being RE cards. I had the Carreon/Edwards listed a vertical pair, but I can't find the MC where that was firmly established and I have nothing on Wood.

My counts support Aaron & Gonzalez as being 4x, and Nuxhall as being indeterminate, but the other 4 (Cubs, Moeller, Skinner, Fox) as being 3x

[Kevvyg1026]

I recall seeing a miscut of check 7 (series 6 printing) that has, what looked like a either a team card or Rookie card above it, but the coloring was off (almost looked blue), suggesting a color shift. I don't have that MC though. When I saw that miscut, someone suggested that the card might be a color shifted A's team?? Boy, I wish I had a scan of that MC now.

Lastly (for now), some of these checklists definitely have a red color shift (noticeable because of coloring in the player jersey), which might explain the strange color of the banner above the checklist.

Is it certain that Steve Hamilton is under Carreon, couldn’t it be another Dodger/Yankee with blue sky?

[Kevvyg1026]

I only have this for Carreon, so it could be Hamilton, Ferrara, Friend, Podres.

Can't be Richardson or Moeller or yanks RS

Pretty certain it can't be Friend with that artificial deep blue behind him - looks like a primitive cut and paste job - must have been some busy or objectionable activity behind him.

When looking at the Carreon over what I concluded was Hamilton, both the positioning of the visible "S" relative to the letters in "Carreon" as well as the positioning of the orange box on the reverse seems to only be possible with Hamilton, but please take yours and do an in-hand comparison - as much as I want to make progress, I'd prefer to go back to a drawing board than to go down a wrong path.

It's from way back in the 1966 7th Series thread in 2020. It won't let me download a scan of it, it's on post #292 of this page. I am assuming it's the Giants Rookie Stars card.

[Kevvyg1026]

In retrospect, that looks like the Giants RS card above the checklist

Here is Wood over the Giants Rookies and what is all but certainly Edwards over Carreon - when you look at all the other cards it could possibly be, Carreon is the only possibility but there is an anomaly in that the Carreon card has a white space to the left of the Orioles banner - any other cards in the 6th that this image below Edwards could possibly be?

Since we pretty much have these established as being correct I would now say the three 4x LE cards are Aaron, T Gonzalez, Nuxhall, and the three 4x RE cards are S Hamilton, Giants Rookie Stars, and (probably) Carreon.

I was able to download a copy from the older post.

Frank Howard has a Tiger or Cardinal above him.

[Kevvyg1026]

Well, it shouldn't be: 471 (LE), 472 (LE), or 509 (RE).

So, that leaves 454 (Buchek), 455 (Lolich), 489 (Simmons, with Oliva above him), 495 (McAuliffe), or 514 (Woodeshick).

We do have a vertical sequence of Howard above Oliva, and Oliva above Simmons, so Howard and Simmons are in the same column. But that close sequence might make it difficult to have Simmons as the card above Howard.

[Kevvyg1026]

Is it my imagination, or does that yellow above Howard appear to extend to the edge of the card?

[deweyinthehall]

I don't think it goes to the edge, but on both these images it certainly extends beyond the Howard image, which is odd enough. If you look at the first Howard image the yellow seems to start further to the left as well, which make is appear the upper card is completely offset to the left by a couple millimeters - that's weird.
