Uncut Sheets of 1969 Topps Football Cards

Home > Features > Virtual Uncut Sheets > 1969 Topps

The diagrams below show the configuration of uncut sheets of 1969 Topps football cards. 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.)

There are 264 cards in the 1969 Topps set, 132 in each series. The cards are numbered from 1 to 263, with two variations of card number 132, the second series checklist. Card 132A came with the first series, and like the other first series cards, it has no border. Card 132B came with the second series, and it has a white border. I presume that Topps included a second series checklist with the first series to entice kids to buy second series cards later.

Each series was printed on 264-card sheets that resembled this 1966 Topps baseball card sheet. Each 132-card series fit exactly twice on a full sheet, so there were no short prints or double prints in the set.

Series 1 Sheet

The first two diagrams show the two halves of the first series sheet. I modeled them after pictures of actual sheets that you can see here and here. The arrangement of the cards on the two halves is identical, except that the top and bottom six rows are swapped.

In order to have the background color go to the edge of each card, Topps inverted every other row of cards. The checklists are also inverted compared to the other cards in their rows. This way the white headers of the checklists aligned with the white footers of the other cards, and the cards' colored backgrounds also aligned.

Series 2 Sheet

First Half

Diagram

This diagram shows the configuration of one half of the second series sheet. I based it on a picture of an actual half-sheet. You can see that though the second series cards are not colored to the edge, Topps inverted every other row of cards on this sheet, as well.

Numbering

This is how the first half of the second series sheet was numbered. The backs of the cards marked in green were pieces to a Fran Tarkenton puzzle.

Second Half

I have not seen a picture of the other half of the second series sheet, but I assume that Topps used the same pattern as on the first series sheet, with the top six rows of one half becoming the bottom six rows of the other half, and vice versa.
