I also would like to add that I am currently thinking that the sheet size (and therefore layout) could very well have been different depending on the "set" of cards being produced. I think we can learn a lot from the
Obak Full Uncut sheet.
The sheet appears to have weird patterns, but to me the most interesting things are this:
- 88 different players are represented on the sheet (179 total cards); 85 appear twice; three appear three times to reduce waste.
- There are 175 cards in the set
- You can presume a second sheet of 87 players would have been produced (also 179 cards) to complete the set (likely with 82 appearing twice and five appearing three times)
With this information in hand, it appears that they carefully chose the sheet size (31x23.5):
- Manageable in size
- Yet low number of sheets to produce set
- Duplicate players 2-3 times
I would guess that if there were a different number of cards in the set, the sheet layout and perhaps even the size may have been different. ALC undoubtedly had various sizes of presses at their disposal... use the right tool for the job.
