Original 12-card horizontal E91 strip may reveal 1909 printing format

If anything else, what we have learned from this thread (before it went off on other tangents), printers resort to many DOUBLE-PRINTS (D-P), or even TRIPLE-PRINTS to fill out a sheet of cards.

What your various T206 back lists identify is the number of SUBJECTS, but what they do NOT account for is the number of DOUBLE-PRINTED cards of these subjects on a particular sheet.

For examples......

The 34 - HINDU Southern Leaguer subjects may have been printed on a basic 36-card sheet with 2 Southern Leaguers have been D-P (or instance Revelle and Shaughnessy are 2 guys that
have greater population numbers).

DITTO for the 34 - SWEET CAP 150, F#649 subjects. Matty (white cap) and Johnson are likely candidates for D-P. So are Davis, Marquard, and Powers.

And, take this from my experience completing an all-SOVEREIGN set....the 66 apple green subjects (which include the 6 super-prints) were most likely printed on a 72-card (or larger) sheet
because the 6 super prints were D-P.

I know this for a fact, since in the process of putting together this particular group I found more of these super-prints than the other 60 subjects in this Series. Here is my simulated sheet of
these 66 guys......
