This is true of all of the 150 vs. their 350 counterparts, all of the 150 cards are much sharper with bolder colors. I believe the stones were becoming worn and they were not inked often enough during the higher volume 350 series printings as they were during the initial 150 series. It is fairly easy to tell which is which from the front only when they are side by side and often even when they are solo's. The 150's are just crisper and bolder looking. The 150 Plank has brought a premium over the 350 series for some time.
