The five T-brands printed on the backs of the 150-only Series of T206 cards


American Lithographic introduced the T206 set during the Spring of 1909 by printing these 12 cards then shipped them to T-Factory's____
.

.


One way to gauge a group of subjects printed in a specific T206 Series is to compare their pop report data. Given normal probability, their numbers will closely coincide
with respect to their T206 backs. And, of course the numbers of the HOFer cards in this group will be somewhat higher than the common cards in the group.


Here's looking at the bigger picture of the 150-only Series from the perspective of the pop report data...... **

Subjects----HINDU----SOV----SC25----SC30----PIEDMONT

Ames ------------ 7 ------- 12 ----- 13 ----- 33 ------- 118

G. Brown ------- 14 ------ 10 ----- 12 ------ 44 ------- 189

M. Brown -------- 8 ------ 15 ----- 13 ------ 51 ------- 269 HOF

Burch ------------ 8 ------ 17 ----- 15 ------ 27 ------- 163

Donlin ---------- 10 ------- 9 ------- 9 ------ 55 ------- 178

Doyle ----------- 13 ------- 8 ------ 16 ------ 27 ------ 155

Evers ----------- 11 ------ 10 ------ 15 ------ 47 ------ 222 HOF

Pattee ----------- 9 ------- 11 ----- 14 ------ 37 ------- 182

Pelty ------------- 8 ------- 11 ----- 11 ------ 38 ------- 173

Reulbach -------- 9 -------- 9 ------ 9 ------- 30 ------- 170

Schulte --------- 10 ------- 7 ------ 13 ------ 35 ------- 160


Furthermore, I consider Frank Schulte a 150-only subject. My theory is that American Lithographic replaced the vacant Wagner slot in their early press run with the Schulte card.





** Note..... the above numbers are from PSA pop report data.
Comparing this data with the SGC pop report data, the pattern
coincides very closely. But, the magnitude of the SGC numbers
are slightly lower.


I'd say that the cards in the 150-only Series are the toughest T206's to find than T206's in the subsequent series in this set. It would be very interesting to hear of your
experiences, comments, and see your cards regarding these 150-only subjects ?
I look forward to your responses.
