1 7/16x12 =17.25 That leaves pretty tight margins on an 18" sheet. Doable, but not a best practice even by the 1980's. 19" would work a bit better, and would be fine for an 18x24 finished product like a poster.
19x25 would give a 12x9 card array, which seems reasonable. 108 cards to a sheet.
I think my calling it 12 subjects confuses many people, I mean that one sheet would have 12 different players, with some unknown number of each player on the sheet.
I know this conflicts with the 17 theory that's out there, but this group of 12 cards with a specific frouping of backs combined with the group of 12 from the 150 series that has no 350 backs and no overprint backs would seem to point towards the 12 subjects.
I'm still unsure what standard paper sizes were in 1910, currently 19x 25 isn't standard. 17x20 and 25x36 are usual.
It would also be surprising if ALC only had 18-19" presses. Most places that are general job shops have a variety of sizes to make the jobs more efficient. Setup time and cutting time would kill the price of say 1000 business cards if they were done on a big sheet instead of a small one.
I could also see a volume job like T206s being done on a larger sheet.
