You were the one that provided the miscut for that, the Reichardt miscut that shows a blue box extending the full length of the card which you said had to be Lucchesi or Lolich, it turned out that it could also be Hall, but Lucchesi is eliminated because he has the Indians Team card to his left and Hall has Rollins to his left.

Got it - it's hard to keep up some times.

Here's one - Garibaldi has to be over Sadecki, Santiago or Leonhard. This shows he's over Santiago - the top edge of the adjoining card's stat box is even with the cartoon hand. Only Santiago fits.

This makes a new column of:

Baker
Haller
Garibaldi
Santiago

Because we know Garibaldi is in the 6th column, this means we have the left two, right two and the center columns locked.

The Uhlaender and Fairly columns are joined, but we don't know where they fit precisely.

You have a better eye than I do, I had that Garibaldi miscut but I couldn't make out anything other than the bottom part of the line.

I have this miscut Leonhard showing part of the copyright line of the card above it but I couldn't discern anything, maybe someone else can.

I can barely see the the top of the stat box now. Great work!

Thanks - wish I could help with the Leonhard copyright line - I've tried lining up Hall, Rollins and Leonhard to no avail either way.

Jackpot! This miscut shows the McFadden column is to the left of the Cardinals Rookie Stars column, which in turn completes the McFadden column at

McFadden
F Robinson
Rollins
Leonhard

and the Cardinals Rookie Stars column is complete at

Cards Rookie Stars
Pagan
Hall
Sadecki

The same eBay seller has a couple more identical miscuts from the same sheet that I will post, one of them should be very crucial once I figure out what the other card is.

This Billingham miscut confirms that the Bertaina column

Bertaina
Billingham
Lolich
Ward

is the 11th (Right Edge) column as we suspected, if Billingham wasn't a right edge card then the card to his right would be showing on the miscut.

I originally thought I would be able to tell what card is to the right of Lucchesi on this miscut by the back scan but I quickly realized that type of bio box is the same size on all of them, so I had to go the front scan. Since Lucchesi is a third row card that meant that the current possible cards it could be are the Padres Team card, Garibaldi, Hardin, or Reichardt. The Padres Team card is eliminated immediately so that leaves Garibaldi, Hardin, and Reichardt. The deep blue sky matches Garibaldi the best, Hardin has a lighter blue sky and Reichardt has a darker batting cage along the left side of the card. What I believe are the clinchers that it is Garibaldi are Hardin has a dark green outfield wall in the middle of his photo that would be apparent on the Lucchesi miscut and Reichardt has two small areas of dark fence posts that would be visible on the Lucchesi miscut. This places the Fairly column in the 5 slot and in turn places the Uhlaender column in the 4 slot. That means the 3 slot is either the Meyer column or the Phillips column, and the open 7-8-9 slots are either Meyer/Phillips-McFadden-Cards Rookie Stars or McFadden-Cards Rookie Stars-Meyer/Phillips.
