PIEDMONT Factory #25
PIEDMONT was the American Tobacco Co. Flagship brand. Approx. 53% of all T206's are PIEDMONT cards.
A complete PIEDMONT set includes
522 different subjects, which were printed and issued in six Series. The
150-only Series was issued Summer 1909. Followed by the 150/350, Southern Leaguer, 350-only, 350/460
and finally the 460-only Series in early 1911.
As many of you know, I have put together an All - PIEDMONT set consisting of 520 cards (no Wagner, Plank). And,
it's not a really difficult project to accomplish.
I do not see a purpose for posting a checklist of all 522 cards of this sub-set, as they are known to most collectors.
However, I will post certain subtle aspects regarding the tougher Factory #25 cards....such as the Elite 11.

PIEDMONT 350
This strange curiosity was first explored on this forum back in 2007 when I discovered the Lundgren (Cubs)
card with a PIEDMONT 350 back. This Lundgren card prompted me to post a thread in which we ran several
surveys on certain 150/350 Series cards. Check-it-out...…
Elite 11
Anyhow, illustrated here are these 11 subjects. And, if you are try for a PIEDMONT master set, you will find
the PIEDMONT 350 versions of these 11 guys very, very difficult to find......especially, the Spencer card.
