1966 topps highs
Thank you for updating. This layout is the first 8 rows of one half-slit. Here is a summary of things for this series.
As can be seen, the pattern observed is A, B, C, D, E, A, F, G where A is the row headed by Northrup, B is headed by Perranowski, C is headed by Cards Rookies, D by Taylor, E by Salmon, F by Mantilla, & G by the Jackson/Shirley.
The complete pattern is A, B, C, D, E, A, F, G, B, C, D, E for this half-slit. The other half-slit looks like: D, E, A, F, G, B, C, D, E, A, F, G.
So the SP rows are B, C, F, G. Counts of eBay sales over a lengthy period for cards from this series support this conclusion.
There are still 11 cards to be placed in this array, but we know that they are all from SP rows. These cards are 517, 528, 532, 538, 541, 552, 556, 566, 570, 576, & 590.
We know that 517 (Checklist) is in C11 and that it is adjacent to a card with lots of blue sky. However, we don't know whether it is in row B, C, or G.
I have seen a MC of 541 (Oliver) that indicates it is not in column 11 but there wasn't enough info to tell what the adjacent card was. Same goes for Skowron (590).
There is a MC of 556 (Queen) that shows it is above a regular player card, which means that it is unlikely to be in C11, but that can't be completely ruled out.
Nicholson (576) is above either a RC or a Mgr card. This means that 576 is above 552 or 549. If 576 is above 549, then 576 is at the end of the Hoerner row. If 576 is above 552, then it could be in several places, including possibilities in each of the three rows.
Cards 532 & 552 are adjacent to each other but this isn't enough to determine their placement.
Finally, severe diamond-shaped MCs have been observed for 556, 566, 586, & 590 but I do not know if that means they were all in the same row. Another post suggested that 566/590 were adjacent to each other but I have not seen MCs to support that yet.
