have a Forrest Green Sovereign back like the rest of the 350 only subjects
not Apple green.

ALC selected the Joe Doyle card and the other 65 subjects which were printed with the SOVEREIGN 350 (apple green) backs just prior to the print runs of the AMERICAN BEAUTY 350
with frame cards (circa Summer 1910).
ALC planned on continuing to print these subjects into their 460 Series. However, Joe Doyle was sold to Cinci on May 31, 1910. So, his card was eliminated.
The 350 Series (forest green) SOVEREIGN 350 cards were printed prior to the press runs of the apple green cards.

Yes, the greater majority of cards in Russell's collection of T206's are PIEDMONT. And, there are about a half a dozen EPDG cards in it.
I have to stop here, as we are going to the Jersey shore for the Holiday weekend.
Have a happy and safe Labor Day weekend.
