Maybe you haven't seen all the slits? I tend to agree the 132/132 was for the "All 660" release as the 66/66 seems to mimic prior year's (non-132/132) configurations. Also the first year with only five series since what, 1957? There's many possibilities, including Topps:
  1. finding their way
  2. changing the pattern for the last two sheets for unknown reasons (end of production run, packaging concerns
  3. random Topps-nuttery
