1955-1970 Topps Virtual Series Sheets

[Cliff Bowman]

Here's a larger scan of the 2nd slit.

Amazing work on those 1957 Football sheets!

Anyone happen to have 1968 Topps Baseball Series 2?

I asked Dewey to do that as a favor to me, I recreated the two 1957 Topps Football slits on a Football section thread a while back and I thought they would look awesome as virtual slits. Kevin and I are still stuck on Baseball 1955 3rd Series, 1957 5th Series, 1961 4th Series (we are so close) and 1965 6th Series, so I don’t know when we will have another ready.

It seems these sheets are crazy in 1955. Anyone have a Series 3?

Kevin and I are working on it and have about 90% of it but are stuck on the rest. We need to place Tony Jacobs, Chuck Tanner, Jim Owens, and keep coming up with too many Harry Perkowski and Jim Pearce cards. Similar to the 2nd Series each row is nearly in alphabetical order but there are exceptions in the the 3rd Series. Roberto Clemente and Gene Freese are at the ends of rows so they were apparently late additions.

Made possible by the detective work of others, here is a likely arrangement of of the 1955 3rd series slits....the Mays and Clemente have an odd pattern to their colored backgrounds due to the minimization I had to do make the exemplars the same size as the others.

Looks fantastic! This one is held together with duct tape and baling wire so I have my fingers crossed. Each row is in alphabetical order other than the last card in each row with two exceptions, Billy Consolo and Chuck Tanner. We will probably never know if Consolo and Tanner were last second replacements for players that Topps couldn’t get under contract. I don’t know how the other slit goes. The Adams row, the Bauer row, and the two Baumholtz rows all have roughly the same quantities, but the Berra row has noticeably higher quantities than the other four rows.

The Reggie Jackson rookie is a 3x. Unfortunately this will probably be the last reconstructed sheet that will be completed, the remaining ones like 1965 6th Series and 1966 6th Series are pipe dreams at this point.

You posted slitB, and I only see Reggie Jackson 2x. Does a slitA exist and Reggie Jackson is 1x on that?

Also, I need to review the thread, but do all series virtual sheets exist for 1969?

(Thx for all your amazing work here!)
