1972 Topps Information/Images Needed

Series 1 full 264 card sheet. This is how production sheets were made. Then they were cut into 132 card halves, then 66 card quarter sheets.

Series 2 right 132 card sheet.

Series 3 left half 66 card proof sheet. I then pasted together what the full left half would look like.

Grocery Tray, believe this was sold by BBCEX. Not mine and don't have copy of the back.

Question #3, pretty sure random

Finally, My experience is later series raks (starting with series 3?) had 2 sections from one series and then the section farthest away from the header contained cards from the next series.

Going strictly from memory, I second the observation that the later series rack packs had two blisters of one series and the third one featured the next series. I'll go further and state that a possible reason for the notable scarcity of the final series (series 6, I believe) is that I can remember the high number cards being ONLY available as the third capsule of series 5 rack packs. I do NOT recall ever seeing 1972 high number cards in either a wax pack or a cello. Note that I lived in New York City, so we pretty much always got full distribution of high number cards. Is it possible that high numbers for 1972 were exclusive to one-third of late summer rack packs?
