T206 Red Kleinow (Boston) DRUM defies it's 460-only series status ?

[tedzan]

First....my discovery that Joe Doyle, Kleinow (NY), Rhoades (arm extended) and F. Smith (Chicago) were intended
as additional 350/460 subjects (ala apple green backs in my Sovereign set) is revealing, in that none of these four
subjects exist with either AB 350 Frame or AB 350 No Frame backs.

Now, if you are inclined to suggest that some day these 4 cards will surface with these AB 350 backs....then I can
only reply that it is impossible to prove a negative.

Furthermore, regarding the Kleinow (Boston) card....it appears to me that you are trying to equate a DRUM back to
an AB 350 No Frame back. This does not jive, as DRUM backs are a magnitude greater in scarcity than AB 350 backs.
If we know of one Kleinow/DRUM, then we would have already seen several AB 350 Kleinow's.

The scarcest T206 is the Joe Doyle error card and we have confirmed 8 of them. All the other T206 permutations are
catalogued by now (after Millions of cards that have been sampled). Perhaps, the only exceptions to this are BL 460,
DRUM, and Red HINDU cards.

No, there is no way that Kleinow will show up with an AB 350 back....and, I'm willing to place a bet on that fact.
