In summarizing....... American Lithographic printed the majority (
190 subjects) in the 350-only Series with their stylistic frame design for the
AMERICAN BEAUTY,
BROAD LEAF,
CYCLE,
DRUM brands. Furthermore, they included these five Assorted backs....CAROLINA BRIGHTS, El PRINCIPE de GALES, OLD MILL, POLAR BEAR,
and TOLSTOI (displayed below).
However, a select Group of 37 subjects which were printed with the
A - B - C - D backs were NOT printed with CB, EPDG, OM, PB backs. I find this quite interesting
in that it suggests to us that these 37 guys are an "exclusive" Group of T206 cards which were printed on sheets of their own. Furthermore their press run was very
likely quite early in the game (circa Spring of 1910). I base this on my understanding that the CAROLINA BRIGHTS and POLAR BEAR backs weren't printed until the
Summer of 1910.
The TOLSTOI backs were introduced at the beginning of the 350-only Series print runs, therefore a good number of these T206's are found with this back. Thanks to
Ronnie73 for researching the TOLSTOI backs (see Post #891), regarding this unique Group of 37 subjects.The Major Leaguers (26 subjects) in this Group of 37 were
printed with the TOLSTOI back. But it appears that the Minor League (11 subjects) were NOT printed with the TOLSTOI back.
