I don't know what was up with the cutting this year, but it is Bowman's worst cut issue by far. The 1954 footballs and 1955 footballs (which I believe were the sets printed before and after this issue; the non-sports issues dying out around this time) are both much better cut. I store my 326 set without sleeves, and handling the stack really makes clear just how poorly cut it is. I'll have to check my Mays, it's one of my favorite poses of him.
