"it is a fact." Well, sort of. What really is a fact comes next: "We do know that NONE of the 55 cards in the 350/460 series have never been found with a Sweet Cap 460 Factory 30 back." But the professor in me would like to point out that this is what's called an empirical truth, one drawn from observing one instance many times, and then by generalizing. "All crows are black" is like that. We've seen tens of thousands of crows, and all of them have been black. But the first polka-dotted crow that stumbles past is really gonna mess up that Fact real bad.
Similarly, the first card within the 350/460 series to be found with a Sweet Cap 460 Factory 30 back is gonna mess up that Fact real bad. So do we really know that every card in the 35/460 series will lack a Sweet Cap 460 Factory 30 back? Probably, but not conclusively. There are too many "polka-dotted" T206s out there to ever be sure of it. I was looking for one, and had thought I'd found it. And as I'm sure he'd be the first to tell you, not even Scot Reader has seen all the T206s in the world.
No offense taken, and certainly none intended.
Best,
Bob
