The magic number for the T206 sheets is not 48 but rather 34. The evidence to back that up is strong.

The Southern League group was 48 however only 34 were printed in the initial run of the Brown Hindu set.

The Brown Hindu set has a confirmed number of 102 total. 34 x 3 = 102

The Coupon Type 1 set has a total of 68. 34 x 2 = 68

The Sweet Caporal No. 649 set has 34 cards.

Other backs will not be as equally divisible by 34 as they were run multiple times allowing for different combinations of front images on the sheets.

Ted’s example above does not account for miscuts we have seen with the same players name on the top of a card as it should be on the bottom. Miscuts with the same name printed on top are more prevalent than those with a different name than should be on the bottom which shows that multiple images were printed top to bottom and then the next player.

To date there has been no evidence of images duplicated left to right or printed horizontally to the vertical cards on the sheet.

If Ted is correct on the 12 card width than the sheets would comprise 34 images printed 6 times each for a total of 204 per sheet.
