1966 Topps 6th Series/Semi-Hi's

[Cliff Bowman]

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.

That looks fantastic. Thanks again for all the hard work. Sure helps the '66 collector.

Hello

This is my first post.

Longtime collector who is discovering lots of great stuff on this site. This thread and the others surrounding the construction of the printing sheets is compelling to follow.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your dedication to solving these puzzles.

I've long shied away from the 66 set because of the high numbers. It's a great looking set and I'm thinking of diving in. This thread is a large reason why.

I've also taken an interest in miscuts. Who would have thunk?
