1965 Topps Series 6 semi-high Sheet Reconstruction

Found this Berra on eBay today - settles the question of whether he's a right edge card or not - looks like an Indian or Phillie to his right.

I ran through all Indians and Phillies, and the only ones that can't be ruled out because of the 3x/4x thing (Berra being a 3x) or already being to the right of another card are Culp, Brown, Indians Team and Phillies Rookie.

Because of the slight tilt, I think the likeliest candidates are Culp and the Phillies Rookies - I think the team name on the Indians card and the headdress on Browns would show slightly.

Thoughts?

Nice find, it can’t be Culp, he has an Indian/Red to his left from a miscut in post #36. ETA I think Richie Allen is still possible.

Right you are about Culp.

I don't think it can be Allen - somebody check my math, but post 24 has Gagliano over Allen, and in some posts in the high 60s, it seems Gagliano is place next to Owens in the left edge. If this is accurate, then placing Allen next to Berra would be impossible as it would make Berra a LE card which we know he can't be.

With Culp eliminated, I think the best bet is the Phillies Rookies, but I'm not certain enough to lock it in on my grid.

Yet another 'so close yet so far' - Mathews has a Phillie or Indian to his right. The reverse image has no trace of the adjacent card.

We know that Dick Allen is in column two, so that could be the card next to Mathews, but there are a few others that it could also be. Also, my numbers show Mathews as a 3x but could it be a case of artificial scarcity and he is really a 4x?

I'm thinking it is Allen. We have Owens above Mathews in Col 1 at some point, and Gagliano above Allen at some place.

I strongly suspect that Gagliano is adjacent to Owens, which would place Allen next to Mathews.

Found this Pavletich today - looks like a Twin or Giant to his right.

Kostro, Haller, Mele and Priddy are unavailable because of what we know already of where they're placed.

This leaves Giants Rookies, Peterson and Battey.

Counts place Pavletich in the 4x (Boyer, who is on his other side, is in the 3x range, but probably due to high demand we conclude Boyer is actually a 4x?).

Counts of Giants R seem to place it in the 3x, but Battey and Peterson seem to place each in the middle unsure territory - perhaps Battey is a 4x and his counts are low due to demand?

I don't know why I keep checking the '65s every couple of weeks...

Even if it takes us another ten years, you, Kevin, and I will eventually figure out the 1965 6th Series layout.
