Realizing I am probably just continuing to amuse myself....
John, early advertising could have included Sovereign, even if Sovereign wasn't printed until after Sweet Caporal and Piedmont. And certainly, if there were suspected issues with printing Wagner and Plank, ATC would likely have limited their printing (as they obviously did), and one way of doing that would have been to only print them on SOME of the Piedmont and Sweet Caporal runs, and NONE of the Sovereign runs.
There is no reason that Ted's line of reasoning should be considered invalid simply because there aren't Sovereign-backed examples.
okay, ignore me and carry on with your 2-way discussion...
