I am positive that is Bennett because there are two unique flaws on the cartoon border line that match perfectly with the K Johnson miscut and a Bennett card. There is a problem with that column though. Each 1966 6th Series column must have three 4x cards and four 3x cards. Right now that column has three 4x cards, K Johnson, Bennett, O’Donoghue, and one 3x card, Jimenez. There is a miscut O’Donoghue that shows a Twin/Red above him and the only currently available 3x Twin/Red is Rollins. The problem is Rollins brings along Radatz because there is a miscut showing Rollins under Radatz, and Radatz is a 4x. There is a flaw somewhere. I also find it odd that O’Donoghue is the only card we have found that appears to have two different cards above or below it.

After taking a quick look at eBay quantities I was surprised to see that Ken Johnson is well into 3x numbers, so a current column of

D Bennett
O'Donoghue
K Johnson
Jimenez
Rollins
Radatz

is plausible. I don't know why I had it in my mind that Ken Johnson is locked in as a 4x, and the current eBay quantities of Rollins and Radatz are both in the range where they could be 3x or 4x. Bennett and O'Donoghue are the only two guaranteed 4x cards in that column.

Saw this today on eBay - we know Aaron is in the left side column with Fox, Moeller, Nuxhall, Cubs Rookies, Gonzalez and Skinner. And, we know that on at least one of the slits, Aaron appears over Moeller.

What card is beneath Aaron here?

The color seems to be purple, but Aaron is the only purple card in the column. The back suggests either Moeller or Skinner I think based upon what appears to be the top corner of the orange section on the adjacent card.

Obviously, the card beneath Aaron here is having issues with the color.

Any thoughts?

Moeller over the Cubs Rookies

Belinsky over Stigman?

From the front, it looks clearly like Stigman, but on the back the orange section of the adjacent card extends slightly lower than Belinsky's, which Stigman's seems not to.

Thoughts?

here you go. Might it be Wyatt?

perhaps a better MC with Moeller above 482 Cubs RS
