Enjoy the challenge of collecting T206's by their backs ? Let's start with the toughest of the tough regular issue T206's....the
BROAD LEAF 460 cards. These cards were printed
ONLY on subjects in the 350/460 series. And, just 35 subjects (of the 63 subjects) in 350/460 series were printed with the BROAD LEAF 460 backs. Furthermore, these same 35
subjects were printed with the rare red HINDU backs.
Near the end of the T206 press runs (circa late 1910-early 1911), American Lithographic separated the 63 subjects in the 350/460 series into 2 print groups (refer to Post #8).
Shown here are the 35 subjects printed with the BROAD LEAF 460 back......
Group A

NOTE....that the

If you have them, show them....never tire of seeing BROAD LEAF 460 cards.
