1966 Topps 6th Series/Semi-Hi's

[deweyinthehall]

I think it's Hamilton, 6th Checklist - even with inflated numbers from its 5th series print - and the 7th for the reasons I said (large amounts discarded - which would help the 6th series checklist's case as a 4x).

I am going to spend some time catching up to you tonight

Are you counting Ellsworth as a 4x? I think he could be a 3x...and if he were, Oliva would be a good match because of the light patch of green in that area of both Oliva's photo and the sliver showing on the Ellsworth mc.

On the Pirates Rookies, it's weird - doing a search on "1966 Topps Pirates Rookies 498" gets that high number, but looking through each only 22 were actually card 498 - lots of team cards and lower number rookies. Don't see the same thing with the other rookie cards. Weird. Definitely in the 3x.

I think Ellsworth is correct as a 4x on the Nuxhall row, it is a notorious card because it shows the two year deceased Ken Hubbs on it and there is a demand for it. I do have at least one flaw on my current layout, I have a six card block of

4x ***Gibbon*** - Hannan
3x Braves Rookies -Schofield
3x **Coleman** - Red Sox Rookies

and I have nowhere to put it.

I'm an idiot - Ellsworth and Olive are in the same column...my brain is turning to mush.

Get your Phil Linz cards out - I believe the gray bordered card above Steve Barber is Linz - look carefully at the uniform thickness of the black border and the edge of the salmon field compared to Barber's. Other options are McDowell, Azcue or Banks.

The counts for check 6 (and even perhaps check 5, or 7) are high because you have both varieties included in a simple search.
