As far as I know, no short prints or dp's. A true uncut sheet is 264 cards. For the 80/81 set they were print in sections of 44 cards each (3x44 = 132).
The sheet you posted shows that the cards in rows 1 thru 4 were printed again in rows 9 thru 12. FYI this looks like the right half of a 264 card sheet. The left half would then have rows 5 thru 8 printed twice (top 1/3 and bottom 1/3 of the sheet). Rows 1 thru 4 would only be printed once in the middle of the sheet, therefore this makes a total of 88 unique cards printed 3 times each.
Then topps rearranged the layout for some reason, can't remember why off the top of my head, maybe a different printer? Anyway, the print layout was the same as mentioned above. 88 + 88 = 176.
