The 350/460 series is very interesting; and, in recent years a completed SOVEREIGN set has provided us insight into American Lithographic's planning
of this series. Circa Summer 1910, American Lithographic (ALC) selected 66 Major Leaguers from their 350 series to complement their 460-only series,
which comprises of only 46 cards. These 66 cards are easily identified by their lighter shade of green (apple green) colored SOVEREIGN 350 backs.
Which contrast with the normal green backs of all the other SOVEREIGN cards.

Actually, ALC printed 63 of these 66 subjects with 460 series backs. Joe Doyle, Simon Nicholls, and Bob Rhoades were originally planned to be in this
group; but, were not printed with 460 series backs (most likely because their careers had ended). Furthermore, Red Kleinow (NY-catching) and Frank
Smith (Chicago-white cap) were both traded to Boston AL in the Spring and Summer 1910, respectively. These trades are reflected on their 350/460
series cards.

Here is the list of the team representation of these 63 cards in the "350/460 series"
