I would have to see that to believe it. I owned an uncut sheet as well as a panel set that I believe originated from Woody Gelman. Interestingly and perhaps related to your post - The Mays on the uncut sheet is printed as part of the box proof - making it theoretically possible to cut it out in a way that would allow you to assemble a box from it. That said, the time it would take and the needed precision of multiple cuts and folds I submit would be prohibitively time consuming.......so, that said - do you have pictures?

You are correct Howard...it came from the bazooka sheet. I don't have a picture but I have seen the Mays box in it's 3d state. I think it was made by Topps back in 71, not someone cutting by hand from the sheet. I may be wrong but Bob may own it.

Ok maybe that's what I saw years ago. The Mays numbered panel.

So were the numbered 71 Bazookas never issued but cut off of sheets?

I am 99.9% sure that Roberto is at the far right of the photo. I did do a little research in the past and the only other player this could have been is Earl Francis. But based on the body posture, I think it's Clemente. 1963 Pirates snapshot photo... ![]() ![]()

I used to see quite a few numbered singles that were clearly hand cut and unfortunately very sloppily. I have never seen a complete assembled box flattened or otherwise. I do believe all panels originated from and were cut from sheets.
