Sorry, that I didn't respond to this earlier......
"Am I correct in understanding that your subset of Factory 42 OP backs are only the players that appeared in the
350 and 460 runs and does not include the 460 only players with Factory 42 OP backs?"

Absolutely right....I have always been intrigued that the 55 cards in the 350/460 Series were NOT printed with the
SC 460 Factory 30 back. Yet the 48 cards in the 460-only Series are printed with the SC 460 Factory 30 back.

I have a theory as to why. The timeline is such that the 460-only series cards were printed sometime in the latter
part of 1910 (prior to ATC stopping production in their NY Factor 30). The 460 portion of the 350/460 Series was
issued in early 1911. By that time, Sweet Cap production had been transferred to Factory 42 NC.

I hope I have presented this clearly.....if not, ask away ?
