Thus, I am going to accept 34 subject sheets as most likely, with the understanding that we may part company on that. More reaction later.

With all due respect to Chris B's suggestion. I have to differ with his swapping games regarding Ames and Dougherty. There is no justification for ALC switching these guys.
Their careers did not change during the T206 timeline (1909 - early 1911). Ames played with the Giants and Dougherty with the White Sox. And, as we've seen throughout
the make up of the T206 set, where ALC has modified certain subjects in their printing there was valid reasons (trades, retirements, etc.). Replacing Ames with Dougherty
sounds like an unwarranted arbitrary change, which in my opinion did not occur.
Ames has been confirmed with both the SWEET CAP 460/25 and SWEET CAP 460/42 backs. ALC's printing pattern regarding these two backs correlates with the red HINDU
backs. The red ink is exactly the same on all 3 of these backs. And, it would not surprise me if ALC printed all 3 of these backs simultaneously on this group of 35 subjects.
In the past year, Murphy & Dougherty were discovered with red HINDU backs; and, I expect that Ames will eventually surface with a red HINDU back (and/or BL 460 back).
Furthermore, the red HINDU story is not complete yet. There are 3 other subjects that have yet to be confirmed with red HINDU backs......
Mathewson (dark cap)
McIntyre (Brooklyn & Chicago)
Reulbach (no glove)
So, my expectations regarding Ames are not just my "wild imagination" in overdrive.
