Default 520-card T206 set live auction in Buckingham, Pennsylvania

Thanks to everyone who took an interest in this thread. I appreciate your inputs on the WST effects on these SWEET CAP 460/42 versions of the "Exclusive 12" cards.

If this is first time that you have heard of my term...."Exclusive 12", then I invite you to check-out my original thread regarding these T206's for more information........

My long standing theory of how American Lithographic formatted the printing of T206 cards (and T205's) is in sheets of 12 cards across the sheet by N-number of rows
down the sheet. I essentially base this theory on the following 4 factors:

19" track width of lithographic (6-color process) printing presses of that era

The available standard size of paper (or cardboard) sheets was 19" x 24"

Series structure of the T206 set which mathematically translates to repeating factors of 12 or 6

A known uncut sheet (19" x 33") of PIEDMONT cigarette packs



And for example, shown here is my theoretical printed sheet of 108 cards on an 19" x 24" cardboard sheet which comprises of the Exclusive 12 subjects............
