Supposedly those numbered #371 and above were printed in slightly lesser volume than the lower numbered ones. However only the SPs (some of those from #523 on as Mike noted) really command any premium and even then not really much of one. AFAIK there is no "semi-hi" series/range.

Commons lower than #371....slightly discounted because as it is for most years (with the exception of what...1958?) there is a glut of cards. As I recall, since most of the cards were sold by Mom n Pop Shops and 5 n 10's they would stock up on cards when they first were available, in some cases missing an entire Series or two by the time they re-ordered. Commons from #371 to 506... Regular Price...PERHAPS a quarter more than the low #s #507-#598... Hi#s, maybe 50% more than Regular Price and Short Prints perhaps twice that..... EX: $.75(Low).. $1 (#371-#506)....$1.50(Non-SP High)...$3 (SP). That seems to the formula as I remember it. I do not know if the pricing itself holds true these days..... |

Technically the high numbers start with card #523 and run thru #598. Equates to 77 unique cards when you include the 7th series CL that was also printed with the 6 series (standard topps practice in the 60's and 70's).
Below is 1/2 of the 264 card uncut sheet. It appears that rows 7 and 8 are the SP's but that can not be verified until the other half of the 264 card sheet has been analyzed as Topps usually would select 2 different rows to print once on the other half. The final math should work out to 4 unique rows printed 3 times (132 cards) and 3 unique rows printed 4 times (132 cards). John Last edited by jmoran19; 10-11-2019 at 04:36 PM. |

Topps used to preview the upcoming series by including the first few cards in the then current series packs. I wonder if that was the case with 1965, especially with the 7th series checklist being numbered near the series start at #508.

not sure if cards were included but this was common for the printed checklists from the early 60's

At least in NY area during the 70's and early 80's the last series was easily available and in actuality the hardest series was the one beginning about 284. I think you can make a case (and still to this day) that the cards in the 300's are harder than the final series. The semi-high series is similar to most year's semi-hi's but the 284-446 area is sneaky tough.
That's my opinion only Rich

In 1965 the 1st series was 1-109, but the 1st checklist only listed 1-88. The 2nd checklist listed 89-176 and was part of series 1. The 2nd series was 110-196 plus #104 2nd checklist. The 3rd checklist listed 177-264, but the 3rd series was 197-283 plus #189 3rd checklist. The 4th checklist listed 265-352, but the 4th series was 284-370 plus # 273 4th checklist. The 5th checklist listed 353-429, but the 5th series was 371-446 plus #361 5th checklist. The 6th checklist listed 430-506, but the 6th series was 447-522 plus #443 6th checklist. The 7th checklist listed 507-598, but the 7th series was 523-598 plus #508 7th checklist. |

From my experience building this set 65 Topps the first series was the most difficult to find centered. Charlie Smith is notoriously Not Centered
Also last card Al Downing has been difficult for me. |
