barrysloateTed- why would the front/back combination be irrelevant to the printer?
If someone from the Piedmont Tobacco Company placed an order with the printer for 'x' number of baseball cards, and the printer noticed early in the run that the order was being filled with Sweet Caporal backs by mistake, wouldn't he immediately halt the presses and replace the sheets with ones advertising Piedmonts? If it's true the backs were printed first, the printer could have supplies of both Piedmonts and Sweet Caps, and he can only deliver the proper back to his customer.
