Just a thought and I may be way off base here but with the finding of some
of these non T206 oddities on the backs of T206's if there
are any known full sheets of these non T206 cards couldn't that give us
an idea of the size of the T206 sheets?

Wow!! Great work Erick, this is amazing!!

Johnny- awesome pick up!! You really hit a home run with this one my friend. You deserve it, and it fits well with your mind blowing collection.

Pat- I don't think you are off-base, I actually think you may be on to something.

For awhile I was trying to research press sizes, and I really didn't find enough solid information to start a thread about- meaning any more/new information that anyone else hadn't already come up with. But I learned that the ALC
printed everything from small cigar labels to large size advertisement posters. I was told by the Library of Congress that they were sure they used different size presses, but had no specifics.They told me locating old business records may be the key to finding this information, but that they didn't have any.

This is an amazing discovery in my opinion, one of three known cards that can be placed on this sheet.

Again, great work Erick and congrats Johnny!!

Sincerely, Clayton

I love that not only is it a double-strike, but one of the shows part of two back ads. Great pickup Johnny and nice detective work

Does the fact that T68 (2.25" x 3.375" ?) and T206 (1.4375" x 2.625") can be printed on the same sheet suggest the printed area is some common multiple of those dimensions?
ie. T206 would be arrayed in some multiple of 9 high and 36 across corresponding to 7 T68s high and 23 T68s across?
This would give a sheet size of approx. 24" x 52" (or 48" x 52" if it were 18 T206s high).
36 T206 across should be compatible with some theories about numbers printed in each series, right?
