Actually......6 is the lowest common denominator evident in all the various T206 series. And, 12 cards across the sheet fits in nicely
with the printing machines of that era.
For example, the E91 cards (in 1908) were printed on sheets of 11 cards across x 3 rows down.
In my simulated 460 series sheet, I arranged the cards alphabetically. However, most likely the 48 subjects were organized by teams,
and/or arrangements that facilitated inking.
So, your guesses are good ones.
