Wanted: Images of Uncut Sheets and Miscut Cards

June 9th, 2011  |  Published in Football Card Oddities, Interesting eBay Auctions  |  2 Comments

Most of you are familiar with my virtual uncut sheets of vintage football cards. There are a lot of sets I haven’t been able to do yet, though, because I have not seen pictures of real sheets. So I would like your help: if you see an uncut sheet for a pre-1970 set that I have not done yet, please send me an email and let me know where you saw it. The sheets I have completed are listed on the Vintage Football Card Gallery home page.

I would also like to see any pre-1970 cards that are miscut so badly–on either the front or the back–that they show part of the next card. The card pictured here is an example that I found in an eBay auction: it’s a miscut 1957 Topps Sid Watson card that shows Kyle Rote’s toe. If I see enough cards like this, I might be able to piece together what the uncut sheet looked like–especially if there is a pattern to the card numbers.

    Hi, I was reading your comments on sheets that you do not have. My husband and I have 8 uncut sheets of football cards. 4 crimson tide & 6 Auburn. These were past down from relatives so I am not sure what info would be useful to you regarding what you do and dont have. Email me and I will answer any questions you may have, these items are for sale.
