Insights into probable T206 uncut sheets

You are correct in that I did not say (or imply) that a pre-printed 48 card sheet of Southern Leaguers (SL)
was used to print the "COUPON" backs.

It could have been as small as a 24-card sheet, in which the 20 Southern Association SL were gleaned from.

And, if they discarded 4 cards, big deal. As scarce as these 1910 COUPON cards are, I don't think ALC printed
to many of them.

That makes sense.
Obviously it wasn't one of my better days for thinking yesterday.

It could have even been a sheet of 48 all southern association, 2 groups of 20 and 8 triple prints.

And to twist an old phrase, just because it's apophenia doesn't mean there's no pattern

You were close! it's Mike Dalton my littlel bro is Mark was not at all creative with the handle there.

I am now convinced that 12 cards is the configuration of the art on the original matrix stones from which transfers were taken and applied in multiple to make large sheets on large production presses like the one I posted.
