As for the test prints, why are there only these 12? Maybe a test print was done on your Exclusive 12 with most ink layers on a sheet that the other side was used to layout other cards.
I'm not sure sir....but fun to think about.  |

A lot said there; and, I appreciate all your comments. Since the topic here focuses on the subjects in the 460-only series, my comments are as follows..........
1.....As I see it, the 8 different test print examples lend credence to my theory that the "Exclusive 12" were printed as one horizontal group. I think it is fair to
conclude that when we find the missing 4 subjects (Duffy, Geyer, Sheckard, Tannehill) these guys will be a continuation of this test print pattern.
Furthermore, if additional multiples of these (such as Pfeffer) were found, they will only be Exclusive 12 subjects. Indicating that the Exclusive 12 were printed
separately from the other 36 subjects that were printed with only 460 series backs. Indeed these Exclusive 12 are in a "League (press run) of their own".
2.....I do not understand your "34 card sheet" comment.....are there not
48 subjects that were printed with ONLY 460 series backs ?
There certainly are
48 subjects......apparently, you have not considered Red Kleinow (Boston) and Frank Smith (Chicago & Boston).
Subtracting out the Exclusive 12 from 48 leaves
36 subjects that were printed on a sheet of their own (not 34).
Take care....and, I hope to see you at the National this summer.
