1966 Topps 6th Series/Semi-Hi's

Hello

This is my first post.

Longtime collector who is discovering lots of great stuff on this site. This thread and the others surrounding the construction of the printing sheets is compelling to follow.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your dedication to solving these puzzles.

I've long shied away from the 66 set because of the high numbers. It's a great looking set and I'm thinking of diving in. This thread is a large reason why.

I've also taken an interest in miscuts. Who would have thunk?

Welcome to the board. If you happen to run across any 1965 6th Series miscuts and post them that would be awesome .

Thanks to Dewey here are the two 1966 6th Series slits. The only thing that puzzles me is why #517 7th Series Checklist (White Sox Rookies variation) is not available in larger quantities since it was 4x. I guess kids trashed the checklists back then.

Here is the second slit.

This miscut of Wynn came up today. On the virtual 6th series sheets, Wynn is over Ferrara exclusively on both slits.

I think this suggests a yellow card beneath Wynn, and the way the salmon box is show on the reverse (ending slightly above the bottom of Wynn's and extending above his) makes it a match for Lolich.

I don't think it could be Ferrara even with a color shift, because it certainly looks like a light blue/white sky underneath the black border.

Thoughts?

If there was a row change on either of the 1966 Topps 6th Series slits I think there would be indisputable proof of it by now. Here is a miscut Al Ferrara with Jim Wynn above him. I would like to find miscuts of Hal Woodeshick, Jose Cardenal, Hoyt Wilhelm, and Pirates Rookie Stars to confirm their placements.

Just trying to confirm the few assumed cards, here is Hoyt Wilhelm with a Dodger/Yankee above which matches up with Bob Friend.
