scott brockelmanin response to a few questions above:
at one time the 350 series back was unknown and not discovered until the early 1980's i believe. it was considered 10x's as rare as the 150 series even until the last few years, however as someone pointed out many of recent auction t206 planks have been 350 series.
the reason being..................
the 350 series are the very poor quality run, the blue is washed out and faded looking, the registration is poor. in short the well heeled collectors just dont' want to keep them and unload them.
until just a few weeks ago i had 3 t206 planks and the difference in presentation was immense. all were slabbed VG3 by two different grading companies with equal amounts of wear but the 150 series card literally jumped out of the slab with the vivid blue background.
so in short i would pay a premium for a 150 series plank sight unseen an know to expect a nicer presenting card. revisit the multi card scan and you can pick out the 150 series cards without even looking at the back.
