Lundgren (Cubs).....98% of his cards are with PIEDMONT 150 backs. Approx. 1 in 50 will be a PIEDMONT 350 back.
And, 1 in approx. 1000 will be an EPDG back. Needless to say, this card is tough to find wit any back.

After pitching 2 games at the start of the 1909 season, Lundgren was sent down to KC of the American Association.
So, American Litho. stopped issuing his Cubs card; and therefore, his Cubs card was printed with only 3 diff. backs.

Lundgren's KC card is found with only 4 diff. backs.....

Piedmont 350...................90%
Sweet Cap 350 Fac. 30......10%
El Principe de Gales.............2%
Carolina Brights.............less than 1%


I can't find any record in my 1910 Reach Guide of Lundgren pitching for KC on 1909. Perhaps, some one here with a
1911 Reach or Spalding Guide has some info on his Minor Lge. record.

Hope this info helps.
