The PIEDMONT brand was printed on all 522 subjects in the T206 set. The 15 other T-brands in this set; however, fall short of this mark. So, it gets very "tricky"
to figure out NO-PRINT's (N-P) when putting together a run of these sub-sets.
For example, I tend to like the Green colored backs, so I started to collect the SOVEREIGN cards. Why not....the "Big Six" guys were not printed with SOVEREIGN.
Nor were the 48 tough Southern Leaguer's. I completed my all-SOVEREIGN set in 2007. This complete sub-set comprises of 402 different cards. In the process, I
identified 65 subjects in the SOVEREIGN 350 (forest green) series that I claim are SOVEREIGN No-Prints.
These 65 N-P have withstood the test of time, as NONE of these cards have appeared with SOVEREIGN 350 backs in the past 7 years. Therefore, I am confident
that American Lithographic did NOT print them with SOVEREIGN backs.
Furthermore....I observed a strong correlation with their OLD MILL (OM) counterparts. Sixty-two of these 65 subjects have yet to be discovered with OM backs.
I venture to say that these 62 subjects are OLD MILL No-Prints. The three exceptions are Bliss.....Elberfeld.....Freeman.
