The card below Belinsky shows white along the top edge, which eliminates Cannizzaro, doesn't it?

If so, we know Klippstein has a yellow beneath him.

So we now need to add an Angel/Brave AND a Cardinal/Tiger to a partial 6-card column. The math doesn't work.

You scared me for a second, Cannizzaro is ABOVE Belinsky, Belinsky is above Wyatt.

I tentatively have Hal Woodeshick above Dick McAuliffe for a few reasons, it appears to be a yellow card under Woodeshick, the card above McAuliffe needs to be a 3x which Woodeshick is, and that space is currently open. With Stanky being at the top of a column above Bearnarth-G Banks-L Green that means there are mistakes in the other columns so nothing is set.

I figured out the flaw and have completed the 77 card layout. Joe Gibbon of the Giants is the card under Dick McAuliffe and not a Twin/Red, it is most likely a color shift on the Gibbon showing the blue or less likely it's sun faded. I will send dewey the info and hopefully he can whip up a virtual sheet before too long .

OK - I will get to it in a couple weeks probably - I think I still owe you a 1958 series.

I am going to double check the 1966 layout against all the images I have stored away - sort of a "from scratch" thing - as I work on it. It just sort of feels like we've reached a conclusion pretty quickly for such an impossible series.

You all are truly amazing to figure this series out!

I thought 1966 6th Series would be impossible but 1965 6th Series is going to be impossibler .

There have been a few more miscuts that have shown up recently, but as far as "impossible,", I know the cliff and I have worked on this for over a year and a half.

After a lot of detective work by Cliff, Kevvy and myself, here is a possible layout for both 1966 6th series slits.

Very nice, but I think Roznovsky & Podres have to be flipped. Also, as an aside, this is one of the few times where a checklist was on a 4x row. The editors at Topps must have been asleep with such strange series printing.
