What is the "elite eight"?? T206 List?

[Sterling Sports Auctions]

Who has a Mullin Horizontal in a Piedmont 350? I would love to see a scan. How many of these cards exist in just Pied 150, 350 and EPDG?

Did someone request a scan of Mullin Horizontal in a Piedmont 350?

Hi Lee,

Of the "Ninja Nine" I can personally rule out all except Lindaman and Lundgren existing in just P150, P350, and EPDG backs. Here are what I have in my collection:

Dahlen Boston - P150, SC150#30
Ewing - P150, SC150#25, SC150#649OP
Ganley - P150, SC150#30, P350
Tom Jones St Louis - P150, SC150#649OP, P350
Karger - P150, SC150#30
Lindaman - P150, EPDG
Lundgren Chicago - P150
Mullin Horizontal - P150, SC150#30, P350
Schulte Front View - P150, SOV150, SC150#30

Best Regards,
Craig

Lindaman can be found with the following backs:

Oops, meant, 150 series in total, with P350 andEPDG.

Nice run Craig, I have got a fair number of Lindaman backs but not that many.

Is the Mullin horizontal suppose to come in EPDG? If not why?

Just to clarify a little, the (formerly) "elite eight" subjects were so designated because they were believed to be the only eight 150/350 subjects that could only be found in the 350 series with the Piedmont 350 back and EPDG. That is, these subjects alone among the 150/350 subjects were thought to be available with the Piedmont 350 back but no other "350 subjects" back (e.g., Sweet Caporal 350 and Sovereign 350). What's more, they are more difficult to find with the Piedmont 350 back than are other 150/350 subjects.

Now that a single copy of Schulte (Front View) with Piedmont 350 has been confirmed, the "elite eight" have morphed into the "notable nine" (I'm personally not a big fan of "ninja nine").

Will any of the remaining 150-only subjects someday surface with a Piedmont 350 back and transform this list into the "tremendous ten"? I doubt it, but time will tell.

Are all "notable nine" confrimed with EPDG backs? Obviously the Schulte has not been confirmed yet.

The Elite Eight have been confirmed with the EPDG back.

The Schulte card has not.

However, the Lundgren card is seldom seen with an EPDG back....I think only 3 have been confirmed.

So, my point is......an EPDG of Schulte may eventually surface. It took many years for Brian Weisner
to find this card with a HINDU back.

Lee,

Good point. You are right about Schulte (Front View) not yet having been confirmed with EPDG (not surprising since there is only ONE confirmed copy with Piedmont 350)! I will leave it to others to comment on whether all of the original "elite eight" have been confirmed with EPDG. I think so, but am not entirely sure.

I see Ted beat me to the punch ...

Lee,

Both Lundgren Chicago and KC are known with EPDG.
