Going back to one of the reasons I started this particular conversation -

On a "perfect' 132 card slit (264 full sheet), there'd be 12 different rows (each card printed exactly 2 times when you consider both slits).

Now, take the series 5 slits here - all rows are 2x except for the Ryan and Otis rows. We wouldn't say the remaining 9 rows were 'short prints' - we'd say the Ryan and Otis cards were 'over printed' or some such (1.3x?)

Now with the Series 6 slits - of the 10 different rows, 4 are printed three times and 6 are printed twice. Yet, we refer to these as SPs. Because 2x is the majority on these slits, wouldn't it be better to consider the 3x rows 'over prints' - the effect is the same in that there are less of the so-called "SPs" out there, but I think it would be more accurate.

I know this is bucking decades of hobby terminology, but can the majority of cards in a series being considered SPs?
