For the series 2 virtual sheet, there are a few existig partial sheets that I used to confirm the layout, so I feel relatively confident in the layout. For the series 1 sheet, I'm not nearly as confident. There were no series 1 partial sheets that I was able to find, so I created these layout from scratch. Also there appears to multiple sheet layouts that Bowman used for the series 1 cards. The Crandall card is a good example to show this. You can see from the images, it appears to border the edge of the sheet, another dark grain card and a light grain card in different sheet layouts.

I think there are at least a minimum of 3-4 different sheet layouts that were used, but this is just a guess. Here are some sheets layouts that I came up that I think could be correct, but I have no way of verifying them, there very well could be errors in them.

With all my sheet layouts, I assumed all 224 cards on the sheet are unique and there were no double prints, but I question if this was truly the case. There were a few individual miscut cards I found that I couldn't get to properly lay out on the sheets.

Anyway, that was a fun rabbit hole to go down - I'm definitely open to critique or suggestions where my assumption may be incorrect.
