1963 topps series 5 layout
 
1 Attachment(s)
As mentioned in an earlier post, the layout (color-wise) for 1963 series 5 has been determined. Although there are 77 cards in the series, which normally would produce some SPs, for this series, what was found was that the Red border, green inset cards were DPs. However, these R-G card were the ones with variations (see Vrechek article). So, there are 88 unique cards in the series (11 RG normal, 11 RG variation, 22 YR, 11 RB, 11 RY, 11 GO, & 11 GY). Each row of these cards was printed 3 times across the 2 slits.

Fortunately, there are some uncut 6, 8, and 9 card panels from this series that occasionally pop up for sale. In addition, there are a few miscuts that have also been made available. With the significant help of Cliff Bowman, the following slit patterns for this series were deduced.

The slit patterns and card locations are as shown in the attachment.
