Sheets were 264 cards, and were split into 2 halves with 132 cards each. Typically, people say “uncut sheet” to denote a half sheet. The first step of cutting was to cut the big sheet into its two halves, so almost sheets we encounter are really half sheets. A slit = a half sheet. So the 264 card sheet had an A slit and a B slit, just denoting the two halves. Topps’ printers had several ways over the years and sets of denoting the two sides. A handful of cards from this period can be found like Gibson when miscut, if one of the rows they appeared in was next to this marker. I think they’re pretty cool miscuts.

I learned something today. I was not aware that a sheet of 132 is really a “half” sheet. Does anyone have a photo of a full sheet of 264 cards ?

Another 'slit' 1969 T card:

The 1969 Topps 3rd Series Reggie Jackson is on the right edge of the print sheet so there is no card to the right of him, that must be the extreme outer edge of the print sheet edge that was never meant to be used if the cards were cut properly. Cool card.
