Ted ZanidakisI'm still trying to come up with a logical explanation to support my feeling that we are not going to find AB 460 backs
on these 6 cards.
Your point that ATC originally intended these to be just part of the 350-only series (given the AB 350-frame backs)
sounds very plausible. Perhaps when they designed the subsequent series they needed 6 cards to fill out the printing
sheet, they reached back and chose these 6 subjects (just as you said....due to their popularity).
Speaking about popularity, why not include a Tinker card in this group of super-prints, instead of two Chase cards ?
This is exactly what happened in the 1936 Diamond Star set (with the 12 repeated players in the Hi# series). And, in
the 1949 Bowman set, where 12 cards (from an early series) were reprinted to fill out the last sheet in the Hi# series.
