1966 Topps 6th Series/Semi-Hi's

[Cliff Bowman]

Bob Rodgers is under Bobby Richardson. A lot of these miscuts don't show the color band because the color band wasn't printed aligned with the black border lines. I found a Richardson with yellow above him but I have no doubt it's a red Ferrara with a color separation.

[Cliff Bowman]

This is what's holding up the whole layout, Steve Barber has an Indian/Phillie above him that I believe is Phil Linz but every time I get to that point Barber comes out under Lenny Green which can't be right. There is a flaw somewhere in our previous columns.

Thought I posted this a few days ago - but I think this is certainly Phil Linz over Barber because of the unique properties of the visible black border. This should give us a complete column of (in no particular order) Linz, Barber, Kline, Roznovsky, Coleman, Braves Rookies, Gibbon.

You can make out the gray color band in the Richardson I posted....

I'm fairly certain that the column cards you posted can't be completely accurate because Linz is below a green banner card.

We have the pattern of Linz-Barber-Rovnovsky-Kline, and the other three you mentioned are in the order of: Gibbon-Braves RS-Coleman. That would force Coleman (Blue banner) to be above Linz, which doesn't seem to match this miscut.

I think it is possible, albeit NOT confirmed, that the pattern of Face-Bailey-McDaniel is above Linz.

Amazing work Kevin,Cliff, and dewey!!!!!!!!!!

I found this miscut Dennis Bennett in eBay's sold items, it looks like the red of a Dodger/Yankee but there aren't any of those really available. It would make sense if it is orange and it is Hoyt Wilhelm above him.

[deweyinthehall]

My first guess would be a White Sox/Cub, but like you say it could also be Dodger/Yankee.

Notice the reverse miscut...not a sliver of the salmon color, yet the full right edge of the black border and, I think, clear specks of white indicating we're seeing the full thickness and it is one of the thinner borders.

I went through all available (to my counting) Dodgers/Yankees AND White Sox Cubs, and could find no card that had the offset of the salmon from the black to this degree, to include Wilhelm which shows a slight offset. Then I went through ALL the Yankees/Dodgers and Cubs/White Sox just for kicks - it could only be two. The first is Don Buford, but he is safely ensconced elsewhere. The other is Steve Hamilton, but I don't think there is any way any of us think we could have messed up the right edge so badly.

What if we expanded a bit - is there any chance the card above Bennett could be, like Bennett, a pink Red Sox or Pirate? Because Bob Bailey would fit that reverse miscut perfectly, IMHO. With the color issues observed on a couple of those Aaron's I posted a couple weeks ago, can it be out of the question?

[Kevvyg1026]

I sincerely hope that it is a color shift, and that Bennett is below Wilhelm (which is where I tentatively placed him). Otherwise, I have to blow up everything about this layout and start again from scratch. LOL

Here is a color shifted TJ. I realize it's not Wilhelm, but I think the same principle applies. The yellow is higher than normal and we see the pink/violet below.

Larry Bearnarth is above George Banks. Banks is above Lenny Green. Now if we only knew who is above Bearnarth and under Green...

I have a ton of miscuts from 1966. Is this project settled or do I need to dig through my stack for anything to help out this puzzle?....big john

If you have any between 447 and 522 please post them, Dewey is very skeptical that this series is settled .

[deweyinthehall]

Hey! I have so much confidence in our reconstructed 66 6th slits that I posted them on my 1966 Topps page!

(but please post your miscut images here!)
