Default MISSION ACCOMPLISHED (I think)....American Beauty 460 set

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

Great question, guy.....here is my answer.....Bill's Super-Set includes the 6 cards that Scot Reader has
quite brilliantly identified as the "super-prints" (S-P). When Bill created his excellent spread sheet 4 years
ago, my following explanation was unknown.

My observation, after many years of collecting T206's, is that these six S-P cards were not printed with
AB 460 backs. And, this observation is consistent with the fact that these 6 cards exist with the AB 350
with frame. This AB frame back was printed only on the cards in the 350 Series. Now, this may seem con-
tradictory, but look at it in this light....American Lithographic Co. (ALC) initially issued these six S-P cards
in the 350 Series. Subsequently, ALC decided to extend these six cards in to the 460 Series......perhaps,
due to the popularity of these players.
