1963 topps 6th and 7th series

In the 60�s, many Topps series were not actually aligned with the checklist cards and are different from what the checklists say. The sheets and stock differences tell us how cards were actually issued.

You mean the good folk at Topps falsified an official document to deceive us young boys their loyal customers? Say it ain't so!

I also learned from my research that the #29 and #54 Rookie Stars cards were originally moislabelled/misprinted as "1962 Rookie Stars" instead of "1963 Rookie Stars". And then I found that the ones in my collection were the error cards labelled "1962". Now I need to replace them. Bummer!

So evidently there are two different 1963 Topps 2nd Series Checklists as well:

Was one of them printed on the 1st Series sheet?

Now of course I need to add two more Checklists, a yellow topped 2nd Series and a red topped 6th Series, to my 1963 Topps Baseball card collection. Are many/any of you other 1963 Topps Baseball card collectors content with just one of the Checklists for each series?

Checklists are usually DP�s. For example, the series 2 checklist would be included on the series 1 sheet, as a preview of the next series and to encourage kids to keep buying. That same checklist would also be included in series 2 packs.

This double printing results in variations of some kind on most 60�s Topps checklist cards.
