I also have this Ewing currently for trade/sale if anyone is interested

That wouldn’t be the elite 11 then. It’s the piedmont 350 backs that make them so tough.

The "Elite 11" comprise of the 11 designated subjects with either PIEDMONT 350, or EPDG backs.

My experience collecting these T206 cards is that the EPDG backed cards are just a bit easier to find than thier PIEDMONT 350 counterparts.

Nevertheless, both backs are really tough to find. I've been collecting this special group of 11 cards since 2006. My experience indicates that
Dahlen, Lundgren and Spencer appear to be somewhat tougher than the other 8 in this group.

I actually did not know that! Thanks for educating me!

i completed it, one of my favorite subsets.

The Schulte Front View is an odd one, a 1/1 with the p350 back but probably more out there?

Jeff,

Thanks for sharing, I haven’t seen or thought about him in a bit!!

Cheers,
Colton

Regarding the Schulte (PIEDMONT 350)....this card was in Joe Pelaez collection back in the early 1990's.

So far, it is "unique", as no other one has been discovered. I think it is simply a printing oddity.

And, until this Schulte is found with an EPDG back, it cannot be considered as part of the Elite 11 group.

Like Ted Z posted earlier the Elite 11 can have Piedmont 350 (P350) backs or El Principe De Gales backs (EPDG)
And yes they are extremely tough to find with either back
PSA has only graded ~125 with the P350 label, older graded T206's simply have T206 or T206 Piedmont so you would need a scan of the back to see if it is P150 or P350
Also keep in mind that some of these are crossovers or crack outs from SGC slabs
