Is it possible that the old REA scan is of the '55 stamps? If you look at the images on that compared to the full color (and amazing) sheet, there are players repeated in columns that are different than that REA shot. Billy Herman is repeated in a different position than on the color sheet, and Carl Spooner shows up in different places on the b&w photo and the 5x5 cut (but not the big color shyer) Also, and less persuasive given the quality of the shot, it appears that the REA shot has perforations around the edges.
