I remember the 6th series cards were always popular in St Louis because of low distribution there. These were all shipped to Southern California. I was surprised to find out that these carried any premium at all. We had more 6th series cards in 1967 (and no 7th) than any other series. I think the issue was more irregular distribution than lack of production.

1967 Topps 6th series
I am not aware of any uncut 6th series material, and the dearth of miscut and wrong back material has made me leery of attempting to reconstruct the sheet. The series does indeed have 77 cards, so the likelihood is that there are 33 cards printed 4x each and 33 cards printed 3x each (i.e., the SPs).
I know that Peterson, 495, is above Fisher, 533 at one point on the sheet, and that Shaw, 470 has a WB of Dodgers team (503). The image I have seen for the 5th series sheet suggests that the no ear version of the checklist 6 was issued in series 5 while the ear version was probably issued in series 6 printing. |

As a lifelong St. Louisan who collected cards back in '67 and continues collecting to this day, I can absolutely verify the scarcity of '67T series 6 and the abundance of series 7 in St. Louis. We were buying 7th series packs like crazy at the time hoping to find those elusive cards from the penultimate series. Ended up with plenty of Brooks Robinsons and those two rookie cards people seem to like, but never even saw a McCarver until I bought the entire 6th series from Bruce Yeko at Wholesale Cards in the mid-70's. Set me back a whopping $5.95 (same price by the way as the Fleer Ted Williams set w/o #68, from the same order).
I have been advertising in local papers for decades, and purchased many collections, but have never once come across any series 6 cards. I still find series 7 cards occasionally, which certainly makes the situation a lot more tolerable. |

Was doing some shopping at Dean's Cards tonight - Yes; it is very possible to find nice conditioned singles at reasonable (compared to eBay and elsewhere) prices. But I digress.
Anyway - I noticed he listed #476, Tony Perez, as an SP, but that he didn't show any other cards from the 6th series as an SP (obviously, for there to have been 1 SP, there would need to be at least 10 others). I sent a note asking the basis for listing the Perez as an SP and whether they have seen any 6th series sheets. Will let everyone know what I hear back. |

Don't hold your breath, they still have these listed as SP's when we proved they aren't from the 1966 7th Series thread, Jerry Adair, Willie Davis, Willie McCovey, Jim Northrup, Dave Roberts, and Billy Williams.

Dean's Cards has 42 cards from the 1967 Topps 5th Series listed as Double Prints from #373 to #457. The 1967 Topps 5th Series has 88 cards, there are no SP's or DP's from an 88 card Series, they are each printed three times over two Slits. I wouldn't put much stock in their knowledge of SP's and DP's.

Perez has been listed as an SP practically since the day the set was issued. Not sure of the origin or if its even a tough card relative to the rest of the series.
