The EPDG thread and this thread are interesting to T206 collectors (i.e., those who would like to collect more than a dozen or so examples) for purposes of determining relative scarcity as well as general information about the production process behind such a popular card set. The "Piedmont Primacy" theory satisfies collector curiousity in both of these ways. First, it means that some Piedmont 350 cards were not printed with other 350 backs -- making some Piedmont 350 backed cards rarer than others. Second, it means that Piedmont was the primary creator of T206 cards, and that the others fell in line behind them.

When one tries to compile a VG set of T206 cards, it helps to have a sophisticated understanding of relative scarcity and therefore appropriate pricing between issues. The rest of it is just historical context.
