judd hamlinNew to the forum- missed on the EPdG thread, but let me throw my 2(06) cents in. I've informally tracked front/back combos for quite a while and can add that I've seen the Ames with a Piedmont 350, but no other 350's. I've also seen it with EPdG, Hindu and Old Mill. O-fer the Ewing and Schulte.
Of my 500+ T206's, I have 25 EPdG's, most of which I grabbed in the 90's (mostly Sloate, Lipset, Doubleheaders/Wheat, Howard's and EPSCC) and have noticed that there are many fewer on the market in the last couple of years, and that they are becoming more dear as less are coming out of collectors' hands than are going in. In terms of series breakdown, my 25 are as follow: 150 only- 0; 150/350- 11; 350 only- 8; 350/460- 5; and 460 only- 1.
I sent my list in to Bill Brown (if I did it right), but thought I'd add by back breakdown to help anyone else's research
American Beauty 350 w/frame: 23
American Beauty 350 no frame: 4
American Beauty 460: 3
Broadleaf 350: 5
Broadleaf 460: 1
To which a note- several years ago, at Ft. Washington (right after they moved) a dealer had a small stack (8-10) of Broadleaf 460's- I purchased a Snodgrass and an O'Leary. All the cards were VG or worse. Never saw that dealer or those Broadleafs again. I hope some of you grabbed those, or maybe even purchased the O'Leary from Barry Sloate.

Hope this helps someone and I'll be happy to try and answer questions this might engender.
I would also like to see stats on Southern Leaguer breakdown by back- I've alsways thought it was 45% Piedmont, 50% Old Mill and about 5% Hindu, but the Hindu #s may be a little high from what I've seen over the last few years.
