1966 Topps 6th Series/Semi-Hi's

[Kevvyg1026]

I recall seeing a miscut of check 7 (series 6 printing) that has, what looked like a either a team card or Rookie card above it, but the coloring was off (almost looked blue), suggesting a color shift. I don't have that MC though. When I saw that miscut, someone suggested that the card might be a color shifted A's team?? Boy, I wish I had a scan of that MC now.

Lastly (for now), some of these checklists definitely have a red color shift (noticeable because of coloring in the player jersey), which might explain the strange color of the banner above the checklist.

Is it certain that Steve Hamilton is under Carreon, couldn’t it be another Dodger/Yankee with blue sky?

I only have this for Carreon, so it could be Hamilton, Ferrara, Friend, Podres.

Can't be Richardson or Moeller or yanks RS

Pretty certain it can't be Friend with that artificial deep blue behind him - looks like a primitive cut and paste job - must have been some busy or objectionable activity behind him.

Is this Wood under the Checklist?

[deweyinthehall]

I think so - the small patch of lighter coloring near the top right is the giveaway, I think.

[Kevvyg1026]

I think so, as well

You're right. I found the original photo Topps used on the Bob Friend card, and I agree, the background seems to be waaaaaay too busy...

Oh, the humanity

[Cliff Bowman]

After looking at blown up scans of the Carreon miscut and comparing it to Steve Hamilton I agree that it is Steve Hamilton under Carreon and Carreon is a right edge card. Next I will have to re-examine the Edwards miscut and see if it is Carreon, I think I originally figured it was the only Oriole/Astro possible from the 6th Series.

When looking at the Carreon over what I concluded was Hamilton, both the positioning of the visible "S" relative to the letters in "Carreon" as well as the positioning of the orange box on the reverse seems to only be possible with Hamilton, but please take yours and do an in-hand comparison - as much as I want to make progress, I'd prefer to go back to a drawing board than to go down a wrong path.

It's from way back in the 1966 7th Series thread in 2020. It won't let me download a scan of it, it's on post #292 of this page. I am assuming it's the Giants Rookie Stars card.

In retrospect, that looks like the Giants RS card above the checklist
