T206 "experts" are quite puzzled that American Lithographic (ALC) included this lone 150/350 series card of Mathewson (white cap) in
the RED CROSS set....and, even more puzzling is why ALC apparently omitted Cobb from their T215 "PIRATE" set.
These cards were issued in 2 series. The 1st series of 48 (or 36) subjects in 1910. The 2nd series of 48 (or 60) subjects in the Spring of 1912.

Thanks Ted. One thing that I need clarification on: You list Red Cross and Pirate subjects side-by-side, with 'NO PRINT' indicated for spots where the subjects differ. I know you said '96' was the number printed for each, but does this mean 96 'subjects' , and that the 'No Print' slots were filled with duplicates?
Also, does it imply some similarity in the print process (sheet configuration, etc) between the two?
