Speaking about AMERICAN BEAUTY cards, there is an interesting process of how American Lithographic (ALC) first printed the AB 350 (No FRAME) cards and
later in the print runs the AB 460 cards.
Circa Summer 1910, ALC printed 190 subjects with AB 350 backs with the stylized FRAME for their 350-only Series. Followed by 37 of these subjects printed
with AB 350, but without the stylized FRAME.
Circa Fall--Winter 1910, ALC extended 63 subjects from the 350-only Series into what we refer to as the 350/460 Series. Subsequently, ALC separated these
63 cards into two Groups. I refer to them as Group A (35 cards), and Group B (28 cards). Post
#8 in this Thread amplifies on the Mutually-Exclusive cards in
the 350/460 Series.
Group A cards were printed circa late 1910. Group B cards were printed early 1911 (by Spring of 1911, ALC ended all the T206 production).
Therefore, from the 37 - AB350 NO FRAME cards, 19 subjects from Group B (see checklist below) were printed with both the AB 350 and AB 460 backs.
Furthermore, these 9 subjects from
Group B were printed ONLY with AB 460 backs......
