In his book titled "Inside T206", Scot Reader identifies the 6 guys displayed here as the "
SUPER-PRINTS "
Scot Reader's excellent research revealed that these six subjects were printed in greater quantities (and with more Tobacco brands) than any other
T206 subjects in the set.
These 6 subjects fascinate me, simply because American Lithographic (ALC) introduced a new Series in the T206 print runs....the
350/460 Series.
ALC selected from the 350-only Series these six subjects, which they printed with SOVEREIGN 460 backs during the printing phase of the 460-only
Series cards.
Please note that the SOVEREIGN 460 versions of these 6 subjects are very tough to find relative to the regular subjects in the 460-only Series.
Shown here are the Six Super-Prints with their SOVEREIGN 350 backs and their SOVEREIGN 460 backs......
The Red Cobb with the SOVEREIGN 460 back is very, very tough to find.
