New member with a 67 baseball question.

Gentlemen,
Thanks for the information.

Since no one has a photo of the other ½ sheet, does anyone have a complete high number sheet of another Topps set from that era?

Perhaps looking at that could give some insight into how Topps typically printed a series of 77 cards?

Here is my latest pickup which came from Bob L. Nice supplement to a great set.

1969 series 6 is 77 cards and I think I have pictures of both sides of the 264 card sheet.

After analyzing it, 4 rows are printed 3 times (132 cards) and 3 rows are printed 4 times (132 cards). John

Made it home with me when I left Beckett, which I doubt, then I wuold have no idea where the uncut sheet information is.

As I said though, I am very comfortable with most of the DP information, not just from those sheets but from my dealer experience in which those cards show up all the time. There is no doubt in my mind that the DP list is correct.

Now, is there truly ONE SP row which is tougher than the others. It is possible but not for sure. I'd like to see the full sheet for that question.

A good example is the SP's in 5th series of 1961 -- I remember seeing that sheet at the Nassau Coliseum in 1993, and that sheet confirmed what we in the hobby long suspected that there were certain cards in that series shorter printed than ever other card. We knew from experience, an Al Rosen find of that series that Jim Maloney RC and Bill Skowron (for example) came up at about 1/2 the average rate of the other cards in that series. The sheet had all those cards confirmed as SP's -- it's nice when you can prove your theorem.

If we can ever get a full 67 Hi # Sheet; we'll get the SP answer to go with the DP answer

I can certainly vouch for the scarcity of Series 6 in St. Louis while Series 7 was everywhere. As a kid, I had lots of '67 high numbers, but not a single card from the 6th. Sometime in the 70's, I bought the entire sixth series from Larry Fritsch for $7.25. I still have the receipt . . . and the cards.

Whenever I come across an old stash of 67's in St. Louis, there are invariably a large number of high numbers, but I have yet to find any from that elusive series 6.
