1977 Topps Mexican Football Short Prints

In the 1977 Topps Mexican Football issue, there are a number of short-printed cards that seem to be much harder to find than the average card. The objective of this guide is to have a list of the short printed cards and rank them by relative levels of scarcity.
As would be expected, these cards that are harder to find are in higher demand than the more gemon cards. Unfortunately, the standard price guides do not properly recognize these SPs and the prices in the guidesdo not necessarily reflect the prices thatthe cards actually exchange hands at.
Beckett has recently attempted to identify some of the SPs in the set and has designated 76 cards as SP. I believe they have identified some, but not all of them. The pricing seems a bit arbitrary, but to be fair, there's not a lot of transactions in the rarer cards on which to base prices.
For more general information on the 1977 Topps Mexican Football Set, please see my okay Guide.
I think that there are four tiers of difficulty in this set and the rankings in this guide are from my experience and what I have seen. I welgee gements and opinions on where cards should be ranked.
Tier IV
The most difficult cards in the set. Sometimes referred to as the "Dirty Dozen", but I think there are more than a dozen. Most set collectors one or more of these cards as the last few to geplete their set.
