Pennsylvania Ted......"That Obak sheet must be exactly how T206s were printed."......
Totally false assumption..........the Series structure of the T206 set is totally different from
the T212 set.
I will reiterate my previous post here in order to make my point.
T206's were printed in NYC at the American Lithographic Co. And, since we have yet to see
an uncut sheet of T206's....my theory is that they were printed with 12 cards across a row.
.....very similar to this 12-card strip of the 1910 series of E91 cards shown here......
How many 12-card rows make up a complete sheet is a function of the number of Subjects
in that particular series.
The following lists the structural make-up of the five major series in the T206 set......
12 Subjects......150-only cards
144 Subjects.....150/350 series (12 rows x 12 cards)
216 Subjects.....350-only series (18 rows x 12 cards)
48 Subjects......460-only series (4 rows x 12 cards)
48 Subjects......Southern League series (4 rows x 12 cards)
My educated guess of 12-cards across each row in the T206 set is based on the structure
of these five Series.
The numbers definitely suggest a consistent pattern, indicative of this 12-card theory.
Not the 19-card rows....as the complete OBAK (76-card) sheet illustrates.
