Ted, Jamie:

If I can crystallize things a bit:

For shorthand we can call the theory the Kleinow/Smith Bifurcation Theory.

It holds:

1. Kleinow (N.Y. Catching) and Kleinow (Boston) TOGETHER had a print coextensive with the 350/460 regular print (RP) subjects. Thus, IN COMBINATION they should be found with the same backs as 350/460 regular prints and IN COMBINATION they should be as plentiful as 350/460 RP subjects.

2. Smith (Chicago White Cap) and Smith (Chicago and Boston) TOGETHER had a print coextensive with the 350/460 RP subjects. Thus, IN COMBINATION they should be found with the same backs as other 350/460 regular prints and IN COMBINATION they should be as plentiful as other 350/460 regular prints.

3. MORE PARTICULARLY, Kleinow (N.Y. Catching) and Smith (Chigaco White Cap) underwent the 350 series portion of the 350/460 RP print run. Thus, these subjects should be found with the same 350 series backs as the 350/460 RP subjects. This set of backs is somewhat different than the set of backs that can be found on the 350-only subjects. For example, unlike 350-only subjects, these two subjects should not be found with American Beauty 350 With Frame, Broad Leaf 350, Carolina Brights or Cycle 350. These two subjects should also be found in similar quantities as the 350/460 RP subjects with 350 series backs.

4. Kleinow (Boston) and Smith (Chicago and Boston) underwent the 460 series portion of 350/460 RP print run. Thus, these subjects should be found with the same 460 series backs as the 350/460 RP subjects. This set of backs is somewhat different than the set of backs that can be found on the 460-only subjects. For example, unlike 460-only subjects, these two subjects should not be found with Sovereign 460 or Sweet Caporal 460 Factory 30. These two subjects should also be found in similar quantities as the 350/460 RP subjects with 460 series backs.
