I would guess, if I had to, that T211 was probably focused in the South. Like I said, it may be that the 226’s were more in the northeast and the 211’s in the south. The traditional narrative ties this set to a very small part of the south, which I haven’t ever seen evidence to support. Geography distribution might tie into what appears to be certain SP’ing in the 226’s.
However, I hate to assume or guess to fill in blanks, which is why I’m looking for primary evidence. A whole lot of what we’ve thought to be good guesses have been proven wrong by primary documentation the last few years. Why would a Piedmont buyer in Wisconsin or somewhere far away want a Boston Red Sock? They may well have also pulled a minor leaguer with a Piedmont back; it’s not clear to me minor league T cards were only issued around their teams city.
I don’t collect the baseball’s as that set to build will cost more than I think it’s worth, but I build the boxing series. The backs are one of my favorite ad designs. I have no interest in any particular outcome.
