So, if this is correct, and this is the arrangement of cards on the other 6th series slit, then we have this scenario:
For every 4 specimens printed of the cards in the Robinson, Tracewski, and Stephensen rows, only 3 were printed of the cards in the May, Bryan, Von Hoff and 6th series checklist rows.
If this is so, having just finished my '68 set, it would account for all the scarcities I came across/paid through the nose for (particularly McNally, Agee, Tsitouris, May, Odom, Al Jackson, Dillman and Sparma).
But, a lot of those in the slightly scarcer rows, under this scenario, seem to have no premium attached, at least from what I recently observed.
I wonder whether there were production or distribution issues with the 6th series generally because overall, they seemed harder to find than the 7th.
