In T206 ...

1. Only six subjects that appear in both the 350 and 460 series are possible with any of the American Beauty 350 with frame, Broad Leaf 350, Carolina Brights, Cycle 350, Sovereign 460 or Sweet Caporal 460/30 back types. The six are Chance (Yellow Portrait), Chase (Blue Portrait), Chase (Dark Cap), Cobb (Red Portrait), Evers (Yellow Background) and Matty (Dark Cap).

2. No subject is possible with both the American Beauty 350 with frame and American Beauty without frame back types. Subjects that appear only in the 350 series, with the exception of Nichols, are not possible with American Beauty 350 without frame. Subjects that appear in both the 350 and 460 series, with the exception of the six mentioned above in point "1", are not possible with American Beauty 350 with frame.

3. Bender (Trees), Dahlen (Brooklyn), Fiene (Portrait) and Fiene (Throwing) are 350-only subjects, meaning they are not possible with any 460 series back type, contrary to conventional wisdom.

4. Abbaticchio (Blue Sleeves), Kleinow (Boston), Latham, Meyers, Overall (Hand at Waist), Smith (Chicago & Boston), Schaefer (Washington), Tannehill (No "L") and Tinker (Bat On) are 460-only subjects, meaning they are not possible with any 350 series back type, contrary to conventional wisdom.

5. Ames (Hands at Chest), Doyle (Throwing), Ewing, Jones (St. Louis), Lindaman, Lundgren (Chicago) and Schulte (Front View) are doubtful with any 350 series back type, contrary to conventional wisdom.

6. Subjects that appear only in the 150 series are doubtful with the Old Mill back type, contrary to conventional wisdom.

7. Only a handful of subjects that appear in both the 150 and 350 series (probably between 30 and 40) are possible with the Sweet Caporal 150/649 back type.
