In the simplest terms, I find it unlikely due to the lack of proof that any have been seen or graded. I know that sounds weak but that's the only true real evidence we can go with.
Do we have an idea of when the 460 print runs occurred or the order in which they occurred? If the EPDG print run was early, I could see a scenario where it's possible.....namely the intent to keep the Kleinow NY catching as part of the 460 and then switch over to Boston when the trade occurred, all while the EPDG were being printed for the 460's. |
My theory regarding the timeline when the 350/460 subjects were printed with EPDG backs coincides with the Sovereign "apple green" print run (shown here is my simulated
Sovereign sheet)....circa Spring - Summer 1910.
I base this on the following evidence......
Joe Doyle retires from Major League BB June 25, 1910
Simon Nicholls retires from Major League BB April 19, 1910
Red Kleinow traded to Boston May 26, 1910
Frank Smith traded to Boston Aug 11, 1910 [F. Smith(Chicago & Boston) is an EPDG No-Print]
I have removed Red Kleinow (Boston) from my list.
Therefore, the grand total (to date) of EPDG =
284 subjects.
