Perhaps Chicle discarded these backs because they decided on a new card arrangement prior to final production and these went into a closet or dustbin.Matthew Gliddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058637926401334906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365437537394666236.post-51630498483800999862021-08-17T16:14:59.551-04:002021-08-17T16:14:59.551-04:00See https://sabrbaseballcards.blog/2021/07/21/a-cl...See https://sabrbaseballcards.blog/2021/07/21/a-closer-look-at-the-1935-diamond-stars-release/ for another article featuring a different sheet with the same card numbers. In this particular scrap, 68 and 71 appear once while other numbers appear 2-3 times. However, in my same article I present the pop report for the entire 1935 release, and these two card numbers appear no more scarce than other commons from the same series, 61-72. <br /><br />I don't really have an explanation as to what these blank-front sheets are that have numerous duplicated cards. The two sheets I've seen that have fronts each feature exactly twelve cards. One is 1936, cards 85-96, and the other is the "1937" uncut sheet that I believe actually dates to 1936 (ah, and is also the subject of my next article). :-)Heavy J Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04022842145856313206noreply@blogger.com
