#2: 110 - 196, plus checklist 2 again - 88 cards (all cards 3x)
#3: 197 - 283, plus checklist 3 again - 88 cards (all cards 3x)
#4: 284 - 370, plus checklist 4 again - 88 cards (all cards 3x)
#5: 371 - 457, plus checklist 5 again - 88 cards (all cards 3x)
#6: 458 - 533, plus checklist 6 again - 77 cards
#7: 534 - 609, plus checklist 7 again - 77 cards

#1 math is wrong, should equal 264. Excluding series 1 CL 6 rows printed twice, 4 rows printed 3 times

In 1967, there were 110 cards in the first run, but only 109 unique cards. The first checklist was in two separate rows.

Not disputing that, problem is 65 were not printed 3 times etc. add it up you have over 264 cards being printed in series 1

Clarification: When there were 110 cards printed in a series, it typically used a pattern where there were six rows of 11 cards printed twice each on the sheet and four rows printed 3x each.

But as I mentioned earlier, checklist 1 was on two of the four different rows that were printed thrice. Thus, in a print run of 110 cards, with 109 of those cards being unique, there were 66 cards printed 2x each (so 132 cards). 42 cards were printed three times (so 126 cards), and since the checklist was on two of these rows, it was printed 6x. This makes 109 unique cards (66+42+1) with a total of 264 cards (132+126+6).

From my previous post I can now say 100% that the 6th series Steve Dalkowski four player rookie is the card beside the Ed Brinkman and is then on the red based yellow inset circle row. The only cards that were printed upside down as opposed to the other cards on the same row were checklists, four player rookie cards, and the League Leader cards. The League Leader cards are only in the first series. The manager cards and the team cards were printed in the same upright pattern as the player cards so the backs are not upside down like the four player rookie cards and the checklist cards on the printing sheet.
