My 1st American Beauty 460 card was Zach Wheat....and, it got me hooked on collect-
ing these backs, since I figured with a mere 103 cards that they would be easy. Not so.
The following is the maximum number of possible T206's that are in this sub-set.
55......350/460 Subjects
48......460-only Subjects
----
103 total
Note....the Six Super-Prints (Chance, 2-Chase's, Cobb, Evers, Matty) do not exist with
AB 460 backs. Furthermore, we can expect that a number of these 103 candidates are
AB 460 "no prints".
Currently, I have 40 - T206's with AB 460 backs. To date, approx. 65 of the 103 have
been confirmed with AB 460 backs.
My theory is that T206's with the AB 460 back were the very last T206 cards to be is-
sued (circa Spring/Summer of 1911). If I am correct, it would be neat to have the final
printing run of the T206 cards.
In any event, how about showing us your American Beauty 460 cards ?
