1961 Topps series 6 reconstruction

[Kevvyg1026]

Today was a lucky day for wrong backs. #469, Lumenti, has a WB of #473, Shantz AS. I believe that is #504, Consolo, next to Shantz AS.

...and that's Clarence "Choo Choo" Coleman ABOVE Zimmer....a THREE-fer!

Would love to see some of those in 1965/6th!

Pagliaroni, #519, is definitely a header (left edge) card. Examples can be found with the slit marking (blue mark in left border), wavy edge cut, and an oversized left margin. If only they were all so easy.

Series 6 is a 77 card series, so SPs exist. However, Cliff and I are both finding that some cards (e.g., Cheney, Thomas, Brandt, Will, CL7...) have exceptionally low ebay counts (e.g., < 50), while others (Rice, Klimchock, Burnside to name but a few) have ebay counts in excess of 400.

Is anyone aware of any information that suggests strange slit patterns or printing issues for this series (perhaps similar to what was done in Series 5)?

The count variances are so extreme that I certainly wonder if something unusual occurred.

Hope these match up

The 1961 series 6 reconstruction is as frustrating as the 1965 series 6 reconstruction is. Miscuts are few and far between. However, I did spot this one recently. Any help identifying the card below is appreciated.

I'm thinking Bobby Bolin? I don't have a 1961 set, so I used the images at TCDB. You'll want to confirm or rule out by comparing cards in hand.
