I need 3 to be done and sorry I ever started them

I do have a self made checklist of sorts

These two current WIP sets are #5 and #6 attempts I've made over the years. And each time there has been 5 or 6 numbers that I can't locate. I'd bet they included your missing three. I know that since you have mentioned them in forums, I have kept a watch for them and haven't seen them.

After 6 attempts at these and more boxes/cases/sets/3200 and 5000ct boxes than anyone should rationally be sorting through, I stand by my belief that some numbers are short-printed. Likewise, there are sequences or short stretches that appear to be double or triple printed. Another interesting observation: the printing was changed as some point, slightly different ink and card stock variations exist for these cards, however, I am not gonna go near that.

Thanks for the info Dylan.

Maybe it's like the missing 58 or the missing 56s. Topps just wanted you to look for them

For a while I suspected that the few impossible numbers were the "X" marked winner cards. I have yet to see a copy of one.
