Previously....these enigmatic T206 subjects, which I have identified as the "Exclusive 12", were presented in this thread............
http://www.net54baseball.com/showthr...t=exclusive+12
Some interesting aspects of these 12 cards are....they appear to have been Double (or Triple) Printed with
AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 and
SOVEREIGN 460 backs with respect
to the other subjects in the 350/460 and 460-only series. These 12 cards are more available than the other subjects that were printed in the 350/460 and 460-only series..
Furthermore, these 12 subjects are the only
red HINDU cards in the 460-only series. And, with respect to the 30
red HINDU subjects in the 350/460 series, the Exclusive 12
must have been Double (or Triple) Printed.....as, they are certainly more available than the 350/460 series cards with
red HINDU backs.
Mysteriously, the Exclusive 12 were not printed with the
LENOX or
PIEDMONT 460, factory 42 backs. This fact may provide us a clue as to the timeline of the printing stages
of the Exclusive 12 cards. ?
Regarding the
UZIT backs.....to date, only 3 of the Exclusive 12 have been confirmed with the
UZIT back. And, recently a rumor of a 4th has been reported. These 3 subjects
are
Crandall....Geyer....Sheckard. And, there is a report of a
Ford with a
UZIT back (but, not yet confirmed).
Eventually, I expect all of the remainig 9 of the Exclusive12 will be confirmed with the
UZIT back. The extreme scarcity of the Exclusive 12 with the
UZIT back suggests that
there may have been only one press run of them. As American Litho. switched to printing their new Gold-Bordered series of Military Men (T80) cards with
UZIT backs in 1911.
