Default Perceived or Real? rarity of 1967 B Robby, 1970 Bench

Posted By: Dave Hornish

This is my night of agreeing with Ted.....There was a find of a hoard of 67 nosebleeds in the early 80's (may have been late 70's) and Brooks was noted to be in short supply at the time. Further amplification of this was cause by the Beckett hi # uncut sheet which showed Brooks in a row of Single Printed cards. However, it appears there would be 2 hi # sheet configurations and on one Brooks is a Double Print. I think all cards in the 67 hi numbers are either printed 2, 3 or 4 times over two 132 card sheets (or one 264 card press sheet which is really how they were produced) but it has also been posited that the array could be 3x and 4x. I think Brooks appears 3 times over the two sheets.

This was discussed previously on this board, although in a different context:
