The initial Southern League series of 42 Subjects (South Atlantic, Southern & Virginia Leaguers) must of closely coin-
cided with the 150 Series. Scot Reader's research tells us this and a huge find of 400+ T206's reinforces this. Several
years ago I was fortunate to acquire this original T206 collection from So. Carolina, which consisted of 388 cards (all
Piedmont 150 backs) and 26 Southern Leaguers (all with Old Mill backs).

Also, in 1909 ATC started printing the 150 Series cards with Brown Hindu backs and this included the Southern Lger.
series. However, our resident Net54 Hindu expert, Brian Weisner, accounts for just 37 of the 42 Subjects. So, it looks
like 5 of these So. Lgers. are Hindu "no prints".

Subsequently, in 1910 when the 350 Series was issued, 6 additional So. Lgers. (representing the Texas Lge.) were is-
sued with Old Mill backs. Then all 48 So. Lgers. were printed with Piedmont 350 backs.
