MattI have a question regarding the 350-460 designation on the backs of Piedmont and Sweet Caporal T-206 cards. Its been bugging me for a while as I'm trying to put together a chronological T206 set (all 150, 350 and 460s). There is probably an obvious answer to it but I can't figure it out.
I realize the "150 Subjects" and "350 Subjects" designation was to represent how many different cards were available with each release (and I realize they aren't 100% accurate).
Why did the last release of Piedmont and Sweet Cap backs have a "350-460 Subjects" designation? What exactly was this supposed to mean other than there are 460 subjects? Why was it not just listed as "460 Subjects" as the Sovereign, Broadleaf and Cycle backs are listed?
Is there any significance to the 350-460 designation? Or is it just what they did. It just seems like a weird way to list how many cards were made? They didn't list the 2nd release as "150-350" subjects.
