Thanks, Dan
The ABCD subjects are only found with the black AMERICAN BEAUTY back.
Here I've reprised my DRUM checklist, in which I state that T205 subjects with the
Green American Beauty back will
NOT be found with a DRUM back (i.e., the ABCD connection) .
I have been collecting T205's since the 1980's and have yet to see this premise proven otherwise.
Regarding the green BL cards, there are so few of them, and I'm beginning to suspect that they may possibly have resulted due to printing errors. For example, Huggins has been
reported to only exist with a green BL back. I have Huggins with a black BL back.

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

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