If it is correct that the 1969 Topps stamp sheets were only available from the stand alone packs that only contained vertical sheets, where did the more common horizontal stamp sheets come from?

I have gone over the 20 sheets I have and they look like a complete set. As a checklist these are the 20 sheets with the upper left player identified. Anybody have any other vertical strips beside these?

The packs that I bought in 1969 had the horizontal strips.

Here are the two different versions of the 1969 Topps Stamp Bernie Allen, one is missing the S at the end of Senators.

Out the back door dose not make sense. The stamps were perforated differently. That they were issued two separate ways might make sense. Especially since we know more than one printing. But top to bottom 20 strips for set and horizontal you need 24 but get multiple stars.. I know a lot of 74 stamps came out back door but they were same as packs.

Finally had a chance to look at my set. I have all the Albums and all 240 individual stamps. Most are on 12 stamp horizontal strips which coincide with those listed in the SCD Standard Catalog.

Cliff---my two versions of the Allen appear on strips 12 and 23 as listed in the SCD Catalog. It lists them as variations

I did have to finish out the set with some individual stamps and panels since I could not locate all 24 12 stamp strips when I was putting set together, and never got back into it. I have no vertical strips

On your 20 sheets, is there one stamp of Bernie Allen or are there two? The reason I ask is that there is a variation on his stamp, some have Wash Senators printed on them while others have Wash Senator, missing the S at the end of Senators. I would put up scans of each but I'm not near a computer at the moment.
