What Mike was referring to was 50 "other" Anon 3 back cards which have never been found with an Anon 25, a Cycle or a Broadleaf back. Or a Red Cross back either. These 50 other Anon 3's can be found with a Recruit back. The T207 "set" seems to be issued in groups of 50 or 100 different fronts.
I was the buyer of the newly discovered Ellis card and it completes my "set" of 100 different T207's with Anon 3 backs.

Congrats, Ron! I believe yours remains the only reported complete Anon 3 subset, with 50 Broadleaf-class and (now) 50 Recruit class. When I stopped earlier this year, I had all 50 Broadleaf and 47 of the (then 49) Recruits. Still have the latter but some of the Broadleaf class are gone off to auction now, it breaks my heart to say.
On the Anon 25's (Val) ... all 50 are presumed to exist. I have personally confirmed 49 of them. Like Ken, I have yet to find a confirming back image of Ward Miller, but see no reason that the card would not exist. Anon 3's of W. Miller are "relatively common", oddly enough.
