If the pattern is correct A B and C are overprinted

Just based on the cards in each row, my guess is A, D and E but that's based on perception. Whatever rows have 523, 560,572, and 573, to name a few are much more common than others.

I believe that the checklist would be on a row that was short printed, since it was previously printed in the last series as well. In addition, for this printing, it is entirely possible that four rows were printed 3x each (the SPs) and three rows printed 4x each, so there would be 43 SPs (44 - checklist) but they are only mildly short printed.

Of course, if the pattern on the 2nd half sheet is different than that described above (i.e., 7th series 1967), then there might only be 11 or 22 real SPs. Until that pattern can be established, we won't know.

The lack of the black line on Piersall makes me think the color there is actually part of the multi color stripe on the bottom of many uncut sheets used to test the ink colors if something goes wrong on a sheet. IF it's this, and not Green, that is still a very helpful clue.

Is this a missing link or is it already known?

I think this is new; we know McCovey to the right (McCovey-Adair-O's Rookies-Franks), but were not sure which row precisely that strip fit into. It would appear the card next to him, based off what is know and still a ?, is probably 580 Williams, placing the McCovey strip in the row headed by 594 Salmon, that is known until it ended part way at 580 Williams

Somebody correct me if I mixed up my graph over here lol

This is awesome. McCovey is the 5th card in a row and must be next to either Siebler, Roberts, or B. Williams. This appears to establish that his card is next to Williams and is therefore in the row with Salmon, Davis, Wilson, and Williams.

I think it can be stated a fact that Davis, McCovey, Williams not Adair are short prints at all now.
