Insights into probable T206 uncut sheets

[tedzan]

There exists regular production uncut sheets of......OBAK's, E-cards (e.g., E93), etc.), all 10 sheets of the 1933 GOUDEY set, 1934 GOUDEY Hi #
sheet (with #106 Lajoie), all three 1941 PLAY BALL sheets, and many uncut sheets of LEAF, BOWMAN & TOPPS cards. However no regular prod-
uction T206 sheets have been found.
I find this very mystifying, since we know that Millions of T206's were printed.


Here is my simulation of what I think a complete 48-card sheet representing the 460 Series might have looked like (the cards are formatted alphabetically).


\................................................. ..........................................19-inch wide track............................................. ......................................./


My format of a 48-card sheet (or a 36-card sheet) is essentially based on these two factors......

1..Research shows that American Lithographic operated a 19-inch wide track printing press to produce many of their lithographic pieces (circa 1910).
2..As is presented below, the number of 48 cards (or multiples thereof) are a recurring factor in the make-up of the various T206 series........

150-only Series Subjects.....12 cards
150/350 Series Subjects....144 cards (48 x 3)........PIEDMONT & SWEET CAPORAL (Factory 30)
150/350 Series.......SOVEREIGN 350 No-Prints........48 cards missing from the complete run.
Southern Leaguers (OLD MILL & PIEDMONT 350).....48 cards
460-only Series......48 cards

Furthermore, the 1910 Coupon Major Leaguers.......48 cards from the T206 350 series......a complete sheet with the T213-1 backs printed on it.


I would appreciate any intelligent, constructive, and meaningful discussion regarding my premise as presented here. Or, any other differing conjectures
that you may have as to what format the T206's were printed in.
