Sovereign "150-ONLY"....SURVEY

[Archive]

Posted By: Pennsylvania Ted

Approx. 61 subjects in the 150/350 Series, with respect to the Sovereign brand, were NOT printed
with Sovereign 350 backs. Therefore, I classify these subjects as....Sovereign 150-ONLY....cards.

Included in this list of 150-only cards are the 1st Series portraits of five CUBS....Chance, Evers,
Overall, Steinfeldt and Tinker. The omission of these five as Sov 350 cards is most likely attri-
butable to their uniform change as the 350 cards were being printed.
As, my research shows that Sovereign's were always printed subsequent to Piedmont, Sweet Cap.,
Hindu, and EPDG cards.

Most significant in this list....is the Green portrait of TY COBB. Therefore, all you Ty Cobb collectors,
that are collecting every card of him....stop looking for him with a Sovereign 350 back, my research
shows that this card of him does not exist.

This list of mine isn't cast in stone....if Net54ers can confirm any of these cards with a Sovereign 350
back, please post it here.....we have ourselves another SURVEY ?

Also, I've never found a Mike Donlin (hands on knees) with a Sovereign 150 back....so, if anyone can
confirm this back it would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
