Pondering this thread, I am questioning something I always assumed about T206 printings, namely that when a sheet or run of cards was printed, it was all one printed back at a time. In that scenario sheets of Sweet Caps would be followed by sheets of Piedmonts, etc until a press run was completed
However, what if there were multiple backs on a sheet and one of the edge columns contained the AB's or perhaps Broadleafs where the main part of the sheet had say Sovereign's. This last column would end up being a little short side to side compared to the rest of the sheet, due either to press size or cutting methods. I know there is evidence of backs being side to side horizontally on a sheet but has there ever been more than three consecutive horizontal backs seen in any configuration of miscuts? Just a crackpot theory but I wonder if this might explain the narrowness of AB's in light of the smaller pack argument going up in smoke.
