There are six Yankees/Dodgers in the 6th Series and Richardson, Hamilton, and Moeller are eliminated, so that leaves Friend, Ferrara, and Podres. I think it is Friend or Ferrara but I can't determine either one.

Jim Hannan at the bottom of a slit.

Skinner is under Fox - Fox is the only other yellow card on the left edge...

[Kevvyg1026]

Yes, Fox and Skinner are both leading edge cards and Fox is over Skinner

Ken Johnson is over Manny Jimenez. This creates a partial column of Johnson, Jimenez, Bennett and O'Donoghue.

In our quest to ID the remaining 9 columns, we are down to 15 partials. 2 have 4 known cards, 5 have 3 and the remainder have 2.

Nice! According to this miscut O'Donoghue can be found with a Red or Twin above him, so that means it could be Oliva, McCool, Rollins, or Klippstein also in the column. It can't be Nuxhall or J Edwards. ETA it can't be Oliva because he is already in a column with four known cards, so it has to be Klippstein, McCool, or Rollins in the K Johnson-Jimenez-Bennett-O'Donoghue column.

Of the leading cards in each row, Aaron, Nuxhall and Gonzalez seem to clearly be the 4x rows, with Fox, Moeller, Skinner and Cubs Rookies being the 3x rows.

Not that any of this helps move us along at this point.

In my 1966 Topps set post, you mentioned possibly having the slit layout for the unknown 5th series slit? I agree that Reed and the Angels Rookies are definitely 2 of the 3 4x rows, but my quick eBay count suggests either Jones or Bunning, not Monbo, as the other 4x.
