Due to their very close affiliation, I refer to these 350 Series T206's as the A-B-C-D connection
Time to switch off to a side-track in order to compare similar printing patterns between the T206 & T205 sets. In the Summer of 1910, American Lithographic (ALC)
introduced a new set of T-brands (AMERICAN BEAUTY, BROAD LEAF, CYCLE, and DRUM). My research shows that ALC printed 190 subjects from the 350 series with
each of these 4 backs. I like the similar stylistic design of these backs, and I refer to this pattern as the "
A-B-C-D connection". For more info check-out thread......
T206 DRUM's....and their "A-B-C-D connection"
In 1911, when ALC was producing the T205 cards, they repeated the A-B-C-D connection for 32 subjects in this set. More info regarding this, check-out this theory
presented on this forum in a November 2014 thread.......
T205 DRUM vs HINDU......
T205 A=B=C=D pattern

The key factor in this
A = B = C = D equation is the
Black American Beauty back.
NOTE that a T205 subject with a
Green American Beauty back
will
NOT be found with a
DRUM back.

The above 5 subjects in bold letters have yet to be confirmed with the DRUM back. But, they already have been confirmed with the
A - B - C backs.
Therefore, I expect these 5 subjects will eventually be discovered with the
DRUM back.

Hey guys,
If perhaps you may have any one of these 5 missing DRUM cards....please by all means chime in here. Especially, if you have Huggins or Lobert.
Furthermore, after completing my 209-card T205 set [including the Hoblitzell (no stats)]......I continued my T205 "hunt" by forming these A-B-C-D sub-sets.
Here is an example of my favorite......
