1967 Topps 6th Series

[toppcat]

Perez has been listed as an SP practically since the day the set was issued. Not sure of the origin or if its even a tough card relative to the rest of the series.

It’s difficult to tell whether star cards are SP’s from 77 card Series based on quantities, if a couple of commons were known that are on the same row as the 1967 Tony Perez we could get an idea but there are so few miscuts and no known partial sheets of the 1967 Topps 6th Series that it’s about impossible to tell.

The POP report suggests which of the commons might be the SP's. I don't trust it either for evaluating stars here like Perez. Palmer/Killebrew/McCovey have more. Marichal has about the same, Mazeroski significantly less.

Evidence that Perez is a SP seems to be non-existent at this point in time.

The Battersbox has the #476 Perez listed as SP, too.

With 77 cards, there are 33 cards printed 4 times and 44 cards printed 3 times. There were plenty of 6th series cards printed where it doesn't make a difference if a card is in the shorter run. For set collectors, these cards are available. Only when the series is in short supply like in 1966 and 1967 7th series, does being shorter supply make a difference. Mickey Mantle is a DP in 1966 Topps, it doesn't make that card cheap.

There are definitely price differences on some 6th series 1967 cards that are a bit unusual. It’s not super tough but it’s not like series 1 of 1966. Nobody ever implied a DP Mantle will be cheap at all. Some of us like to figure out the actual print patterns for historical knowledge, it’s not all about pricing.

And it's not even the most famous Mantle DP!

Well, I received my Dean's shipment from the other night - still no answer to my question, though. I won't hold my breath.
