Besides Carl Lundgren (Cubs), there are six additional 150/350 cards in the T206
set that appear only with Piedmont 350 backs. And, I find this very interesting,
since these 6 cards are available in the 150 Series with Piedmont, Sweet Caporal,
and Sovereign backs. Anyhow, there is a logical explanation for these particular
cards not fully continuing in the 350 Series; and, Scot Reader (in his book) details
these players' trades, or transfers to Minor Lge. status during 1909-10.
Furthermore, if one is trying to complete a "Super Set", or just collect all the front/back
permutations with just Piedmont cards; they will have a tough time finding these six
P350 cards. They are definitely "short-printed" and surveys have indicated that their
availability is a mere 2% of the 150/350 population of any one of these 6 cards.
Shown here are these six....Bill Dahlen (Boston)....Bob Ganley....Tom Jones (St. Louis)
Ed Karger....Vive Lindaman....George Mullin (throwing).
Occasionally, these six cards are found with either a HINDU or EPDG back. Also, an
OLD MILL back is possible, but very, very rarely.
But, so far no Sweet Caporal 350 or Sovereign 350 backs have been found.
So, once again guys....check-out these 6 cards in your T206 collections and let's see
what backs you have ?
