1970 7th Series B/Left side slit

[Cliff Bowman]

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.

This is incredible!

Question on the match of Lucchesi to Garibaldi - Garibaldi has the darker trees low on the card. Can you tell from the original image whether the miscut is actually showing any of the photo down that low on Lucchesi or if it cuts into the border down there?

I thought about that too, the darker area further down on the Garibaldi card, it appears to me that the Lucchesi miscut is also slightly diamond cut and where the trees would show for Garibaldi the photo of the card on the right is no longer showing on the Lucchesi miscut.

Works for me.

So from left to right we have the following columns:

Checklist
Roland
?
Uhlaender
Fairly
Baker
?
?
?
Meyer
Bertaina

Between Roland and Uhlaender is either Phillips or Fisher.

Between Baker and Meyer it goes:
Phillips
McFadden
Cards Rookies

Or

McFadden
Cards Rookies
Phillips

Or

Fisher
McFadden
Cards Rookies

Or

McFadden
Cards Rookies
Fisher

The Fisher column is the 3rd column, the card to the left of Hank Aguirre is Kevin Collins. It had to be either Phoebus or Collins, Collins has the line extending past the corner identical to the card on the miscut. The only thing left to figure out now is if columns 7-8-9 go Phillips-McFadden-Cards Rookie Stars or McFadden-Cards Rookie Stars-Phillips.

[Cliff Bowman]

Stick a fork in it! Tom Haller is on the second row and is in the Baker column, the card to his right has to be either Ken Tatum or Frank Robinson. On the miscut Haller the card to his right has the blue bio box that goes across the length of the card, Frank Robinson has the blue bio box that goes across the length of the card and Tatum has the shortened blue bio box. That means the columns go: Checklist-Roland-Fisher-Uhlaender-Fairly-Baker-McFadden-Cards Rookies-Phillips-Meyer-Bertaina. You know what this means, dewey, you gotta make a 132 card virtual sheet now .
