Should be another thread, I know, but examining this sheet closely, I had to wonder: even if this 32-card sheet was cut down from a larger 64-card sheet, why does it have at least two sides that are handcut? You can see very uneven cutting on the left side near Reese and along the top above Minoso. I doubt it would have anything to with Bowman's earlier problems with the 1952 football cards, as that involved a 36-card sheet that was too large for the 20-inch press. So, maybe someone just decided to cut more than one side of this sheet for some strange reason?
