Yet Another T206 Sheet Size Discussion

I haven't seen the uncut non-sports cards, different sizes makes sense since many of those sets were 50-100 cards. If you have any links to them I think they'd be very interesting.

To your last question......it has been quite a while since I've seen these non-sports sheets. I will search for pictures of them.

The following simulated 96-card sheet of known 48 subjects from the 350 series ** is my concept of a typical ALC press run
employing a 19" press to print these cards on a 19" x 24" sheet of cardboard.








Note **
These 48 - Major League subjects are a known quantity from the 1910 COUPON issue. Their arrangement is arbitrary, but I firmly
believe these 48 were printed together on the same sheet. I show them Double-Printed in order to completely fill-out the sheet.

If these 96 cards do not display on your screen as a 12 x 9 arrangement, diminish the display to obtain the desired configuration.

The following are confirmed sheetmates; bolded items are contrary to your image above.

On (at least one instance of) a Sweet Caporal 350 Factory 30 sheet:

• Thomas and Rossman were stacked vertically

On (at least one instance of) a Piedmont 350 sheet:

• McBride and Rossman were stacked vertically
• Stephens and Rossman were aligned horizontally
• Stephens and Hoblitzell were stacked vertically
• Jackson and Danny Hoffman were stacked vertically
• Matty McIntyre and Danny Hoffman were stacked vertically
• McElveen and Dygert were stacked vertically
• Hartsel and Wilson were aligned horizontally

Assuming that sheet layouts did not change during the piedmont 350 run (which may be totally invalid statement), you could have had this (number of rows is insignificant... alignment is what's being demonstrated):

I arranged this 48 subject sheet some years ago before any top/bottom data was reported. And as I stated......

Note **

believe these 48 were printed together on the same sheet. I show them Double-Printed in order to completely fill-out the sheet.

So, I don't understand your comments......as, the following 9 subjects are on this sheet......

Thomas and Rossman

McBride and Rossman

Matty McIntyre and Danny Hoffman

Hartsel and Wilson

AND, I'll will add the red Cobb adjacent to Chance (yellow portrait)....as I have personally seen this combo.


These subjects were printed on a different sheet (we are aware that ALC would switch around various subjects during press runs).

McElveen and Dygert
Stephens and Rossman
Stephens and Hoblitzell
Jackson and Danny Hoffman

my comment was not on arrangement, it was on the "I firmly believe these 48 were printed together on the same sheet."

If these 48 were printed together on the same sheet, then how could the Jackson, Stephens and Dygert cards also be on the same sheet (since they are known to be adjacent to cards in your list of 48)?

As I noted above, Erick.

This is not new news, it has been previously discussed. The arrangement of the 48 subjects that I have displayed here is by no means a singular grouping of these subjects.

The 6 super-prints certainly exemplify this fact. They are repeated on subsequent series sheets (e.g. they are included again in the 66-subject Sovereign apple green sheet,
also, T213, T214, T215 issues).

I'm really confused... how can you assert that the 48 absolutely appeared together on a Piedmont 350 sheet when you also acknowledge that there were instances when they didn't appear together on a Piedmont 350 sheet? That's like saying I have a lot of money in my wallet, except when I don't.

[Edited] Just so that I make sure that we are discussing the same thing... I fully understand that between different series P350 vs S460 (superprints for example) that the layouts were different. Are you are saying that within a series (Piedmont 350 in this instance) that the layouts did or did not change?

Curious as to the answer to my questions...
