I think it is incorrect, hoping someone has further information. I have cards that are out of that # range /w Superman backs.

Edit:

In Lemke's article he states
"Each of those cards, however, can also be found with one of six advertising messages for Gum Inc.'s Superman gum cards. For reasons unknown, cards #121-122, which were printed on the same sheet(s) as #123-180, are NOT found with Superman ad backs. Only one of the various Superman ads is found on any particular card."

I have card #122 /w a Superman back.

That is within the range of cards that are supposed to have it. The card I am specifically talking about is one that is claimed to not exist.

What number are you talking about

Read the post above yours.

That would almost certainly mean that #121 could be found with the Superman back as well. #121/#122 may very well be rarer examples. Unfortunately, as Bob mentions, not a lot of attention is given to this back variation.

The one example I have, I bought with no mention at all of the back variation.

Definitely relevant news though.
