I think you might be right about about Bescher, he looks like one of the more
difficult cards in putting my set together. And, maybe I was lucky, but Bemis
I acquired early in the game.

I am not sure what you mean by a "monolithic printing" ? But, we do know this....
1st....The Amer. Car. (E90-1 & E90-2) sets consists of 120 cards and 11 cards,
respectively. The Crofts (E92) set consists of 50 cards. They were all produced
in Philadelphia and NO uncut sheets are known to exist.
2nd....The only uncut sheet that has been discovered is a 30-card sheet of E93
cards which comprises the entire set (produced in Lancaster, PA).
My speculation is that the E90-1 set was possibly produced in 3 Series, consisting
of 50-card + 50-card + 20-card sheets. Or perhaps, 3 x 40-card sheets.
Your comparison of the T206 "vertical miscuts" to E-type cards does not apply.
The T206 printing process was quite different than the Caramel one; and, it still
remains a real mystery, as no uncut sheets of T206's have ever been found.
And, that in itself is even a bigger mystery, considering the extensive amount
of T206 cards that were produced and the millions that have survived.
