1965 Topps Series 6 semi-high Sheet Reconstruction

Do you think it is possible that it is a checklist? One of the checklists is supposed to be in column 2 if the patterns from the other series were followed.

I hadn't thought about the checklists. I compared, and the white portion of the checklist is closer to the card edge than the black text on the rookie cards, so my suspicion is still Tigers Rookies Stars.

I think it's ultimately too close to call though, so I'm not going to place it.

Found this Battey on eBay today. I thought for certain I'd be able to ID the card above him, but after several attempts I keep coming up empty. The likeliest candidate may be Cloninger, but there'd be more black ink on the Battey side. See what you think...

It can also be Nottebart, Ellis, Horlen, or Azcue. ETA I noticed that it lines up with the center of the baseball and Cloninger is the only one that does so you are probably right.

Found this Gagliano with an Oriole or Astro to his left.

I have Gagliano as an all-but-certainly 4x.

These O's and Astros I have as likely or certainly 3xs so they would not be candidates: Grote, Miller, O's Rookies, Nottebart, Siebern.

These likely or probably 4xs could be his neighbor:
Rowe, Owens, Fox.

Sadly, none of these can be take out of the running automatically because we don't have any of them paired with anyone to their right yet.

Thoughts?

I show Fox with Cloninger to his right. I have Owens with Harrelson to the right. And, even though the counts on Grote suggest he might be a 3x, those counts may be deflated because he is/was a popular Met. I think Cliff possibly put Grote to the right of Rowe.

Gene Stephens, a definite 4x, has a black card to his left (Yankees TC) and a black card to his right, which might be Gagliano.

However, this is pretty strong evidence that it is an Oriole or Astro next to Gagliano. So perhaps it is not Harrelson next to Owen, but rather Gagliano? However, to me, the trademark location on the Gagliano miscut looks more like that on the Grote card, not those on the Rowe or Owens cards.

I think I am wrong now about Harrelson being to the right of Owens. It probably is Owens to the left of Gagliano, Owens has a black border card to his right. I will have to go back and look at all of the possibilities tonight.
