Great info, Here is a 5th series 1/2 sheet. Not in the best of shape.

Jim, the sheet you posted is pretty much the standard for series 2 thru 5/6 in the 60's. Series 1 sheets in the 60's usually had 2 rows double printed.

The other half of the 264 card sheet would have rows 5 thru 8 on this sheet printed twice as rows 1-4 and 9-12. Rows 1 thru 4 (and 9 - 12) on this sheet would then be printed once on the other half sheet (rows 5 - 8).

88 total cards printed 3 times = 264 cards, no DP's or SP's excluding the current series checklist that was printed with the preceeding series. John

Opened several boxes as an eight year old looking for the Cardinals.

Nice trio of boxes and signed card. Does anyone know what series the pinups were included in?

the later series but not sure which one they started with.

Keith O. opened a 6th series pack on his show around a year ago and it had a Hank Aaron poster IIRC. John

Darren Prince's book has 7th series packs with these as well. It seems the first series did not have the posters; they may have been added mid-run to entice sales. I wonder if the first Fleer/Laughlin packs came out in '67 and Topps decided to include an insert in reaction?

[tigers6884]

I don't seem to remember them in the 1st series but could be wrong. It was only 44 years ago

Here is the Keith Olbermann link to the 67 pack bust:
