1972 Topps Baseball Forum

Series 1 of this set is 132 cards, while the remaining series are all 131 cards. That's how we end up with a 787 card set instead of 792. I have seen some blurry photos of sheets from the set and each series was printed on two sheets with 66 cards repeated on each sheet. Two sheets make up two complete sets of that series. That means that one card from series 2-6 is double printed, with one of the same card appearing on both sheets. I have not strained my eyes looking at the blurry photos for the hours necessary to determine which cards are double printed. I am hoping that by posting this someone may know the answer.

Yes, I know how the sheets are laid out. The point I am making here is that series 2-6 are 131 cards. That means there is a double print of one card for each series. If we could see both sheets for any of those series, we could figure out which card was double printed.

Yes, sorry. Misread what you stated.

It's the checklist cards since each series included its own plus the next series i believe.
