I've read the "Piedmont first" theory here and it makes sense for one reason - The Magie error is a Piedmont only back and Magie HAD to be part of the original 150, meaning the Piedmont backs were issued first.
But, that begs the question - Why were Wagner and Plank only issued in packs with Sweet Caporal? If Piedmont was first, it seems like those two would have been found in Piedmont packs. I realize that Piedmont backs exist for both but my understanding is that all of them were cut from unissued sheets. (1 Wagner and 4 Planks total?)
It does make it seem like both cards were released later in the 150 run.
And about late 150 subjects, any theories about Jennings being Piedmont 150 only?

I believe - and I'm sort of alone in this - that the 150 series as issued, like the other series was more complex than that.
Some of the cards were printed with revised art at least three times.
I also believe that not all the 150 were issued at the same time.
And that the groups issued were not the same for all companies.
And that some Piedmonts were printed using up leftover sheets during the 150/350 transition (as well as some P350 backs printed on what were intended to be 150's)
