And, NOT prior to the initial PIEDMONT 350 press runs of the 150/350 series cards.
I could elaborate more on this, but I have to run out for now.

Ted,
When you have time can you explain the reason that you think the 150/350
EPDG's were definitely printed simultaneously with the Piedmont 350's
and not before.
I'm kind of on the fence with my opinion but I lean more towards them
being printed before. They do have characteristics of both the 150 and 350
series.
The Frank Owen example supports them possibly being printed before but
the explanation for that could be a matter of that particular plate being used
for the EPDG's and not the PD350's. However there are around a dozen 150/350
subjects with front flaws on 150 series backs that I follow closely.
All of them are found on more than 1 back and together they cover all the
backs that the 150 series was printed on including Hindu. EPDG is the only back
that was used for the 350 series that I've found one of these flaws on.
I haven't found any of these on a PD350 or any other back used for the 350 series.
I can't say that the 150/350 EPDG's were definitely printed before the PD350's but until
I find one of the flaws on another 350 series back or I see more evidence
that they were printed simultaneously with the PD350's I will lean towards
these EPDG's being printed before the PD350's.
