EPDG Thread......summarizing this T206 survey

[Archive]

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

PART I

Provided here are the hi-lites from the resulting data acquired from the very popular EPDG
Thread (362 posts) by Barry Arnold. Forum members' inputs exceeded 700 cards in the multiple
surveys in this Thread which reflected several 1000's of cards in members' collections.

1st..order of confirmation was that the El Principe de Gales T206 back is indeed a tough back to
acquire. Inputs from small and large T206 collections yielded only 1 in 100 cards (1%) that had
the EPDG back.

2nd..A subset of this survey developed....in that an EPDG back is not supposed to exist with any
T206 cards that are not in the 350 Series. And to this end, multiple surveys resulted in which
possible T206 candidates in the "150-only" category were gradually eliminated as more inputs
were provided.

3rd....Also, in this process, the "Piedmont Primacy" theory was developed which identified certain
150/350 cards with exclusive Piedmont 350 backs (which have proven to be very scarce). This will
be discussed in a subsequent post in this Thread.

Shown here are the three remaining cards from this survey (and also other surveys) that still have
not yielded any confirmed "350" backs. These 3 are Ames (hands/chest), Ewing, and Schulte (front
view). Depicted with them are all their confirmed backs.

We are still searching........does anyone have any 350 backs on these three cards ?
