Uncut Sheets of 1964 Philadelphia Football Cards

Left Half-Sheet

The picture below shows the configuration of an uncut 132-card half-sheet of 1964 Philadelphia football cards. I modeled it after a picture of a real uncut sheet that appeared in an online auction. There are 198 cards in the 1964 Philadelphia set, so I believe that the other half-sheet contained the remaining 66 cards in the set, plus 66 duplicates, or double prints. The double prints are not documented in the price guides.

If you hold your cursor above a card, your browser should show you the number of the card and the name of the player. Clicking on a card will bring up the full-sized scan. (A real uncut sheet would not have black lines between the cards--that is an effect of scanning them individually.)

The following table shows how the cards were arranged by number on the sheet.

1	5	8	12	14	21	22	23	25	26	28
65	70	71	72	73	75	76	78	80	84	87
2	3	4	6	7	9	10	11	13	15	16
37	39	40	41	43	44	45	46	48	49	50
68	69	74	77	79	81	82	84	85	86	88
104	106	107	108	110	111	113	114	116	117	198
126	127	128	129	134	174	142	144	147	149	154
159	166	168	170	172	140	182	185	189	191	196
183	184	186	187	188	190	192	193	194	195	197
167	169	171	155	175	176	177	178	179	180	181
153	173	156	157	158	160	161	162	163	164	165
137	138	139	141	143	145	146	148	150	151	152

Right Half-Sheet

I have also seen a picture of an advertisement that shows part of a 1964 Philadelphia sheet. You can see that the six cards on the left half of the ad are in the upper right corner of the half-sheet above. From this I infer that the six cards on the right half of the ad were in the upper left corner of the other half sheet.

Going by the ad, we have this start on the second half-sheet:

And this is how the cards on the panel above are numbered:

30	32	34	38	42	47	53	56	57	59	62
91	96	98	103	105	109	112	115	121	123	124
17	18	19	20	24	27	29	31	33	35	36
51	52	54	55	58	60	61	63	64	66	67
89	90	92	93	94	95	97	99	100	101	102
118	119	136	122	135	130	131	132	133	125	120
1	5	8	12	14	21	22	23	25	26	28
65	70	71	72	73	75	76	78	80	84	87
30	32	34	38	42	47	53	56	57	59	62
91	96	98	103	105	109	112	115	121	123	124
126	127	128	129	134	174	142	144	147	149	154
159	166	168	170	172	140	182	185	189	191	196

Finally, here are more bits of the right half-sheet that I have put together by looking at miscut cards:

And this is how they were numbered:

59	62
	124

103

121

123

19	20

47	53

As I said at the top of the page, I believe that 66 cards on the right half-sheet are duplicates, or double prints. Assuming that the sheet follows the pattern of other uncut sheets, this means that six rows on the right half-sheet are repeats of other rows. I have not studied the grading companies' population reports for 1964 Philadelphia cards, but my guess is that the repeated rows are the top two rows of the left half-sheet, rows 7 and 8 of the left half-sheet, and the top two rows of the right half-sheet. I have handled a lot of cards from this set, and it seems to me that the cards in those rows are significantly easier to find than the cards in the other rows.

In the diagram above, you can see that groups of five to ten teammates appear together in the same row. Perhaps this caused a collation problem, where a lot of teammates ended up together in packs. Philadelphia changed to a more random-appearing order on their 1965 sheets, and they retained that order in 1966 and 1967.
