bam
I just blew your mind.

Short prints are not officially recognized before 1948 because very few (if any) uncut sheets are known to exist. There are theories that certain cards are short printed in various prewar sets, but without seeing the placement on uncut sheets no one can be 100% sure.

If this is accurate, I am going to edit the contest rules.
Please list only cards from 1960 to 2000.

Then edit the definition of a star, because the first post 1960 set to include "name" SP rookies is 1962 Topps....Sam McDowell, Joe Pepitone, Bob Uecker, and Jim Bouton. None are HOFers, but all contributed to the game or were stars in their day
The first SP HOFer is Tony Perez, 1965 Topps
Come to think of it, Perez is the only legitimately recognized SP of Hall of Famer. I do not consider tough series (1972 Topps hi # series) as short prints. All cards are printed in the same quantities, they were just printed at a smaller rate than previous series.
There is your answer.
bouwob said:The ryan ven, may have been printed in the 10s of thousands. They just didnt survive in ven or very few have made there way over.
The thomas NNOF, as noted above was a printing defect more than a short print.
wasn't the 52 topps high numbers printed hard core than dumped into the river to make room for football? Would these constitute short prints??

I don't understand what you mean by the high number series were printed at a smaller rate, but that all were printed in same quantities? Sounds like the same thing?
My main effort is to list all of the SP rookies, the first was just like a "bonus question".
My main desire is just cards after the mass produced 80s, but some of this vintage info is interesting, so thanks for sharing. Thanks issued!
