I'm not sure whether it's relevant, but I think the top-to-top arrangement means that if someone's handling a sheet, the writing will be right-side-up regardless of which end they pick up.

Yes, solid thought!

The #1-80 series of Batter-Up cards shows better quality control than #81-192 and known miscuts _imply_ they followed numerical sequence on print sheets. These images show 3 to the left of 4 and 5 to the left of 6, so 5x8 sheets could start at #1 and run 8 cards wide. A narrow white border separates each card and miscuts show far less of their adjacent neighbors. Open to any other thoughts about sheet construction.
