Uncut Sheets of 1961 Topps Football Cards
I have not seen an uncut sheet of 1961 Topps football cards, but I am attempting to reconstruct the sheets by studying badly miscut cards. So far I have just a few. Contributions are welcome!
Series 1
There are 132 cards in the 1961 Topps first series, all showing NFL players and teams. The full series would have fit exactly twice on a 264-card full sheet, with no single prints or double prints. I presume that each half of the full sheet contained the full series. Following are the pieces of the half-sheet that I have so far. You can click on any of the images to see a large picture.

Series 2
There are 66 cards in the 1961 Topps second series, all showing AFL players. The series would have fit exactly four times on a 264-card full sheet, with no short prints or double prints. So far I have just one small piece of the sheet. You can click on any of the images to see a large picture.
