Ted,

I agree with your last post on all counts and this will be my last post on this thread. I would summarize the findings relating to the 150-only debate as follows:

1. Lundgren (Chicago) has been confirmed with a 350 back. The six other identified potential 150-only subjects have not been definitively confirmed with a 350 back (at least in my mind).

2. There are a few 150/350 subjects, many of whom were traded or left the majors after 1909, who likely appear with the Piedmont 350 back but no other 350 back. This may be attributable to the Piedmont 350 print run commencing before the print run for other 350 backs. This "Primacy of Piedmont" trend may persist in the 150 and 460 series.

Lots of room for further study.
