In Post #920, I alluded to American Litho possibly having printed the AB 460 cards in 3 separate stages. I base this theory on my experiences acquiring the 73 (of 74)
AB 460 cards in the course of 15 years.

Furthermore in recent years, I provided David Hall with 14 of the tough AB 460 cards to complete this run in his master T206 set. This factor reinforced my knowledge
of what AB 460 cards are really scarce.....and, which cards are moderately tough to find.

The following three lists are the results of the above two factors......
