One detail though. There may still be some shortprints in the 6th series because the 6th series must have had another print run from a different sheet because there are two different coloured variants of the Checklist:



The one I have is like the second one above which raises a real mystery because no card from the 6th series card has an orange bottom! So how/where was the orange topped 6th Series Checklist printed?

Not so! Looking at my Checklists, there are 77 cards in the 5th series, 77 cards in the 6th series and 70 cards in the 7th series. This means that the orange topped 6th Series Checklist could perhaps have been printed from a 5th series sheet.
