1970, 1972 & 1976 Topps Stickers - Expanding the Knowledge Base

I have 8 full cards and 3 partial cards. Here are scans of all that I have except Curt Motton (can't seem to find it):







The SCD catalog shows 19 known. If you add on the three partial cards, you get 22 different. I've seen two different Ryans, but I've never seen duplicates of any of the others. All of the cards are in the 2nd series of 1970 Topps (133-263). The known numbers are 139, 144, 153, 158, 160, 167, 169, 177, 178, 179, 195, 197, 200, 210, 212, 216, 226, 238, 242, 252, 257, and 261. All of the cards have backing. Here's a scan of the back:



The partial cards make me think that they were originally on a sheet similar to the '72 Cloth Stickers. A scan of that sheet is shown below. Note the partial cards on the left and right (Sparky Anderson, Willie Stargell Boyhood Photo, etc.). I imagine that there'll eventually be 33 full cards found with possibly a duplicate row (like the 11 extra ones on top of the '72 sheet with their tops chopped off).
