I commend you on a lot of good work here.
However, as you know that I cannot accept your "17-subject" wide sheet arrangement. Basically for the following two reasons......
1st....the factor "
17" does not map into any of the various T206 series (or sub-sets) numerical structure. As I have presented on
this forum many times,
12 is the common denominator throughout the T206 structure. For example: 12 subjects in the 150-only
group....144 subjects in the 150/350 series....48 subjects in the Southern League group....the Elite 12....the Exclusive 12....etc.
2nd....research has shown that American Lithographic printed these cards with a
19-inch wide track printing press.
Your speculation of a 17 cards wide sheet would require a
26-inch wide press.
Incidently, shown here are the Mullin cards in my sets. I don't see this PIEDMONT 150 Mullin (with scratch) in your diagram (Post #2).
The point that I'm making here is that trying to formulate an arrangement of a hypothetical T206 sheet based on printng scratches
can be quite arbitrary.
Hey guys, here is an example of my concept of a T206 sheet based on the Exclusive 12 subjects in the 460-only series......
