Excuse me as I have disagree with you guys. Empirical evidence indicates that PIEDMONT 350 printing preceded EPDG printing regarding the Elite 11 subjects.
As I have noted several instances in other threads: To date, the sole source of Elite 11 cards has been from the Atlanta, Georgia area. At least 4 original T206
collections from that area have provided Elite 11 cards. I have personally acquired 2 groups of Elite 11 cards from sources in Atlanta.
And, to date, no other location has been the source of these rare cards.
Furthermore, the well known Russell Tobacco card collection (on display at Univ. of Georgia library) is the first known source of the Elite 11 cards.
Plus......
the Joe Doyle N Y Nat'l card.
The Joe Doyle N Y Nat'l card exists ONLY with the
PIEDMONT 350 back. In fact several of the known 9 examples of this card have been found in original
collections emanating from Georgia.
Given that the fact that Russell's collection did not have a single EPDG version of the Elite 11 subjects, I cannot accept your argument that EPDG printing
preceded the PIEDMONT 350 print run.
