The "Elite 11" comprise of the 11 designated subjects with either PIEDMONT 350, or EPDG backs.

My experience collecting these T206 cards is that the EPDG backed cards are just a bit easier to find than thier PIEDMONT 350 counterparts.

Nevertheless, both backs are really tough to find. I've been collecting this special group of 11 cards since 2006. My experience indicates that
Dahlen, Lundgren and Spencer appear to be somewhat tougher than the other 8 in this group.

I actually did not know that! Thanks for educating me!

i completed it, one of my favorite subsets.

The Schulte Front View is an odd one, a 1/1 with the p350 back but probably more out there?

Regarding the Schulte (PIEDMONT 350)....this card was in Joe Pelaez collection back in the early 1990's.

So far, it is "unique", as no other one has been discovered. I think it is simply a printing oddity.

And, until this Schulte is found with an EPDG back, it cannot be considered as part of the Elite 11 group.

If you combine the PSA & SGC pop numbers with the past sales the Spencer would be the toughest Piedmont 350 to acquire and the Lundgren would be the easiest.

Spencer = 17
Shaw = 21
Dahlen = 22
Lindaman = 22
Jones = 26
Mullin = 28
Schaefer = 28
Ewing = 29
Karger = 29
Ganley = 46
Lundgren = 51
