Not looking to sell any of these (some are not in the greatest condition, anyway), but you might find them interesting. I have these Sullivan backs, which I believe to be the complete set as far as types (not including differences in numbers, such as 150/25, etc.), although, as noted earlier in this thread, there is a tiny bit of doubt about whether an El Principe De Gales exists.

In case you are interested, the portrait used on Sullivan's T206 was based on a photo taken by Carl Horner sometime prior to 1903 and reused over and over. I own all of the other Sullivan items shown here except for the Breisch Williams. The Horner cabinet portrait of him in a suit was, undoubtedly, taken at the same sitting as the photo of him in uniform that was used as a basis for all of the cards. Someone else here on the board has the Horner cabinet of him in uniform.

Just so you know, he was my great grandfather, which is the main reason I have amassed all of this.
