1966 Topps 6th Series/Semi-Hi's

[deweyinthehall]

With Bennett over Johnson, this gives us 16 partial columns from which eventually only 9 full columns can emerge (we have the LE and RE columns complete).

I swear every time I search daily uploads on eBay of "1966 Topps" I will find at least 1 miscut where you can ID an adjacent card, but NEVER of this 6th series - they must have put their top crew on that shift.

Those cards for which we still have absolutely no matches (making them high value targets) are, according to my records:

Pirates Rookies
McDaniel
Covington
Podres
Stuart
Face
McCool
Stanky
Banks
A's Team
Hargan
Cardenal
Hatton
Wilhelm
Stigman
Woodeshick
Friend
Wyatt
Lolich
Bearnarth

So, I think these images confirm that Hoyt Wilhelm is at the top of one of the slits - agree?

Do we think the Stanky image gives enough basis to declare him at the bottom of one?

[deweyinthehall]

Uh-oh.

The left hand column was previously determined to have been:
Aaron
Nuxhall
Fox
Cubs Rookies
Gonzalez
Skinner
Moeller

Does this image of Wyatt mean we need to reconsider??

I am very confident that we have all of the correct LE (header) cards, that Wyatt must have been cut at the maximum right on top of the line. It also appears that both slits of the 1966 6th Series has a 4x row at the top of each sheet and a 4x row at the bottom of each sheet.

The more I look at it, it appears Wyatt may be trimmed along the right border.

Found a Lolich image on eBay placing his row at the bottom of a slit. There is an image of a Lolich on this thread which places his row on the top of a slit as well.

Also, there is this image that is on eBay - I asked the seller to post a scan of the reverse. We'll see.

Nice find! It is a Brave or an Angel, which are B Rodgers, K Johnson, Bragan, B Lee, Cannizzaro, H Aaron, and Cardenal. Aaron is not possible, it's highly unlikely Bragan or Cannizzaro because they have different cards under them, so that leaves Rodgers, Johnson, Lee, and Cardenal. Unfortunately I don't see any unique flaws in the color band, so hopefully we will be able to tell by the back scan.
