Oddly that wood framed partial is a 5x5 represented almost exactly by the bottom left corner of this mystery "blurred" sheet, except for the fact that the bottom left card is clearly Ted Williams in the blurred image - the plot thickens...

Correct - He is...on that sheet. I have that sheet designated as "sheet 1" for my purposes. This is "sheet 2" - a totally different arrangement of cards.

The sheet for which you have a color image is here:



The sheet I am trying to decipher is here:

There is a miscut 1955 Topps Warren Spahn on eBay but unfortunately the card under it is Ferris Fain.

Through some cups of coffee and an open mind, I created this graphic that helped me reach a conclusion about the identity of two cards on the horrible image of the sheet in question. They are of cards 8 and 9 in column 10, the two cards inside the red square labeled "B"

There are only TWO cards under #110 that show pitchers in left hand stances that have darker than yellow backgrounds and darker than yellow name stripes. They are #9, Bob Miller, and #31, Warren Spahn.

With this information I created the following image showing known examples of the two aforementioned cards labeled "A" to the left, purposefully desaturated and blurred to assist in making them look a little closer to the cards in question.

The red square contains the two cards in question and is labeled "B"

The card to the right, labeled "C", is a known example of #9, Bob Miller, from the exact same sheet image (he is located for sure at Col. 4, Card 6.

ANYONE have any input on what they think my outcome here was and whether they agree with it?? Thank you!!!

It is Warren Spahn repeated. There is a miscut 1955 Topps Warren Spahn on eBay with the stats of another card above it, as I was trying to figure who it is it finally dawned on me that it was the same stats as Spahn.
