I have gone back over this series multiple times - everything I have found (with two exceptions below) completely validates the final slits developed earlier.
One reason it never felt quite 'right' was because of the strict ABCDEFG row pattern. The only 77 card series we know of that mirrors this is 1968 series 6. All other 77 card series mix the rows to some degree creating a situation where rows have multiple top and bottom partners. However, with all the top and bottom pairs that were ID'd in this series (and that's quite a lot), there are no pairs which point to anything other than the ABCDEFG pattern. So to Cliff and Kevvy - well done. You guys were right. I mentioned above there are two exceptions which continue to really puzzle me. These images of Wally Bunker and the Giants Rookies clearly appear to be top row cards. If we were starting this series from scratch, we'd confidently place them there. How are they explained? They aren't in the same row which makes it seem harder to reason why they both clearly show clear evidence of being in the top row, even though it sure seems they cannot be.

1966 series 6
Is it possible/conceivable that those cards might be trimmed slightly? Do you have back scans of those cards?

Just did some quick measurements.
the standard 2.5 x 3.5 card size gives a .714 ratio. I measure the image of the Bunker and came away with a .710 ration. The Giants rookie stars has a .70 ratio. So, based on this extremely unscientific process, they would seem to be almost the exact correct size.

1966 series 6
Ok. So those are close in size and probably are correct. And they certainy look like top edge cards.
However, a top row card in a 77 card series has always been at least a 4x quantity card. Neither of these cards appears to be in that category. We also have Aaron and Gonzalez as top row cards (and headers). The pix shown below support that those cards are definitely top row cards (and they are both 4x quantity). So, if the Bunker and Giants RS cards are top row, they would have to be moved and placed in one of those two rows and would require quantities supporting them to be 4x. How could that be resolved? My suspicion (guess??) is that they were both trimmed slightly (doubtful, too nice of a cut) or were cut by the factory at minimum size because they certainly do look like top row cards. I completely understand that these two card images definitely pose a conundrum which needs to be resolved before we can definitively say the series 6 reconstruction. 1966_500 (2).jpg 1966_478_gonzalez_top.jpg

Yes - definitely both are 3x.
Well we will know for sure when a full series sheet shows up for auction, right?
