Each series had about 88 cards in it. You can see a list of the cards in each series on the checklist cards. <br /><br />The first two or three series of any vintage set were usually easy to find. The next couple are harder since they came out later in the season when collectors were getting bored with the set. The last two series are usually the hardest since the season was almost over and football was coming up. <br /><br />this is the case with the '65 set. Series 1, 2, 3 and 4 are pretty easy. Series 5 is harder but not too bad. Series 6 is tough and some cards from series 7 are the hardest to find. The higher series aren't necessarily short printed, there was just less of them printed if that makes sense.<br /><br />Making things weird for series 7 is that it's the largest series at 92 cards. Since card sheets were 88 cards in size, this meant the cards had to be printed on multiple sheets so some of the hard series cards are actually printed in less quantities than the rest of the cards in the series. These cards are considered short printed.<br /><br />It's been determined since the earliest price guides that cards 523-598 are the hardest to find. The entire series goes from 507-598 though. Basically all the cards from 507-522 and a few of the cards from 523-598 were probably double printed on the sheets resulting in a handful of actual short prints in the series. Here's a list of SP's from my SCD catalog:<br /><br />523 524 526 527 529 533 535 536 538 540 543 545 547 549 550 551 554 555 556 559 560 565 566 568 569 570 571 572 573 576 577 578 579 580 581 582 583 586 589 591 592 593 596 598 <br /><br />Is a seller lists any 1965 Topps card other than those as a SP, they're wrong. If they list cards from the 6th and 7th series as high series they're right. If they list a 3rd 4th or 5th series card a a high series they're wrong. Those series might have a little premium on them, but then again, if you're dealing with someone who slaves to book prices on vintage commons, run.<br /><br />Basically what you have there is a really nice page of 6th series cards. It's one of the two high series, but there aren't any of the real high short prints in there. I'm sure you'll knock those out soon enough!dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-150625409633075789.post-52853482238947813352011-01-30T16:51:58.570-05:002011-01-30T16:51:58.570-05:00Congrats!
