This explains why different cards have the backs going in the opposite direction from others, as compared to the fronts.

53 and 54 Topps sheets were masterpieces of graphic design.

The alternate facing bleed edge layout is a genius idea on its own.

Putting that together today would still be tough and
the kids have keyboards and mice to play around with.

I love the backs on '54 Topps. That's what baseball cards should look like.
