They're Called Rare Backs...

American Lithographic (ALC) introduced 4 new Tobacco brands during their printing of the 350-only Series (circa Spring/Summer 1910).
I was fascinated to find out that ALC printed the AB - BL - CY - DRUM backs on 190 subjects in this 350 Series. And, I embarked on an
ambitious challenge to at least collect this 4-card sub-set of my favorite T206 players pictured in this Series. So I started with Delahanty.

I completed my first A - B - C - D sub-set in 2007 at the Reading (PA) Philly Show. I acquired Frank Delahanty's DRUM card from Toby.

.

NOTE.....All 190 subjects with the AMERICAN BEAUTY 350 and CYCLE 350 backs have been confirmed. Currently, 177 - BROAD LEAF
350 cards have been confirmed. From the 350-only Series, 123 DRUM cards have been confirmed. Recent years, more BROAD LEAF
350 cards and DRUM cards have surfaced, and they will continue to be discovered in the future.
