Regarding your......
" However, 25 card sheets might make sense for this set since the back itself states "100 subjects." "

The T206 set's last series of cards states "460 Subjects"....however, there are 522 subjects and 2 error cards.


Let's consider a bigger picture here. Preceding the E90 set is American Caramel Co's (ACC) E91 set. Each series
of the E91 set consists of 33 cards. We have seen horizontal strips made up of 11 cards across. I think it is fair
to conclude that these sheets were an 11 x 3 array.

The E91 set was printed some time in 1908 (judging by player/team representations). The E90-1 set must have
been designed and printed in late 1908 (judging by player/team representations).

Therefore, I don't think ACC's printing firm drastically changed its printing track to accomodate only 25 cards on
a sheet for the 1st series of the E90-1 set. If anything, the E90-1 cards were printed on 33-card sheets.

Subsequently, ACC printed the E90-2 (Pittsburg team set) and it consists of 11 subjects.

If you guys, don't like my 30-card sheets, then how does 33-card sheets sound ? At least my theory is plausible
based on the configurations of the three ACC sets that I have cited here.
