Back in 2005, I broke up my T206 set (521 cards) in order to assemble an all PIEDMONT set. The Zach Wheat card in this set, with its AMERICAN BEAUTY 460 back
being a Factory #42 card intrigued my interest. This suggested that the AB 460 cards were printed at the very tail-end of the T206 press runs (circa Jan-Feb 1911).
Tail-end press runs usually result in Short-Printed cards (e.g. UZIT). Therefore I expected a challenging adventure. However I never expected a 15-year long search
for some of these AB 460 cards. Some are not too difficult (for example the Exclusive 12). However, there are about 2 dozen cards that are very, very tough to find.

Recently, acquired the Larry Doyle portrait, which is my 73rd card in this sub-set of 74 subjects.
