As far as I know there's little documentation on differences between groups of cards in the same series.

Pat makes a great point that it could be a difference between printing locations. That's a result of some fairly recent information that's come around.

The last two images are an excellent example.
The left Schlei has a lot of red. How much of that is overinking and how much is that it's got a heavier red in general is hard to tell.
It also has a lighter blue sky, I'm almost sure it had no dark blue at all.
The right one has a pretty heavy dark blue layer.

You'll find these differences all across the 350's.
Some less subtle, like Dygert with bright red lips or not.

I think some fronts that were in production at the end of the 150's ended up getting both 150 and 350 backs.

I should organize my saved scans and write some stuff up, but it's a huge undertaking to catalog it all,
It doesnt help that the met has gone to all small scans after originally having only small scans for Hof players.
LOC still has large scans, but they are hard to search.
