REA Many Uncut Sheets

[insidethewrapper]

Wow, check out a the REA Auction. A lot of uncut sheets from the '60's and '70s ! Some proofs! Are there many uncut sheet collectors ?

[whitehse]

I am aware of one uncut sheet collector that used to post on the PSA boards who seemed to have an incredible collection of uncut sheets from several different decades. I am not sure if he ever made his way over to these boards but his collection seemed to be unmatched. I cannot help but wonder if perhaps these sheets in the REA auction may be his collection.

For the life of me I cannot remember his name but I am confident I will remember it eventually. It's hell to get old.

I did a trade with a guy named Craig a year or two ago who seemed to have a lot of proof and sheet stuff. Does that sound familiar?

I have a few dozen, from 1908 to 1971. They are tough to store though, and unless you have a lot of wall space even tougher to display.
I'm working on a few sets in uncut form, if anyone has any '41 Playballs in either sheets or strips I'm very interested.

1965 Topps Uncut Sheet1 Fifth:Sixth.jpg

Is this known already?

In looking at the 1965 Topps uncut sheet from the auction (above), I noticed that there were only three Roger Craig cards, whereas others seemed to appear four times across the sheet(s). So I started to examine the entire sheet and found out that a whole bunch of cards only occur three times.

Among them are:
1965 Topps #411 Roger Craig
1965 Topps #396 Frank Bertaina
1965 Topps #428 Bob Shaw
1965 Topps #383 Felipe Alou
1965 Topps #420 Larry Jackson
1965 Topps #404 Stan Williams
1965 Topps #405 John Roseboro
1965 Topps #419 Ruben Amaro
1965 Topps #382 J C Martin
1965 Topps #372 Clay Dalyrmple
1965 Topps #410 Luis Aparicio
1965 Topps #406 Ralph Terry
1965 Topps #386 Cubs Rookies
1965 Topps #398 Reds Rookies
1965 Topps #422 Aubrey Gatewood
1965 Topps #399 Ray Herbert
1965 Topps #436 Don Elston
1965 Topps #378 Chuck Estrada

...and then I stopped checking.

Are the cards listed (as well as the others I didn't get to) considered SP's?? If this full, two-sided sheet is official (and the only one used), then the quantity of some cards printed was only 75% of the number printed of other cards (it's late, so I'm sure that was poor grammar, but I digress)...unless there was also a second version of the sheet that included more of some cards and less of others to balance out the totals??

This is standard/known for 77 card series like 1965 series 5 (series 5 CL printed with 4th series too).

77 card series have 3 rows printed 4 times across the 264 card full sheet and then 4 different rows printed 3 times.

I have a few(16) of them. All but the 132 card 1989 Fleer all Bill Ripken Black Box version are error sheets. I know a few other members that have full sheets in their collection.

I have one full sheet in my collection. I like the way they display. I don’t particularly like proof sheets or sheets that are missing color or text.
