Your observation is accurate regarding the Wagner SWEET CAP Factory #25 (and the Plank) cards are indeed more available than their SWEET CAP Factory #30 cards.
I should know this because it took me many years to find this SWEET CAP 150 Factory #30 card of Plank to complete my all - SWEET CAPORAL Factory #30 set.

A fair number of SWEET CAP 350, Factory #30 cards were available, but those cards have a "washed-out" appearance. Besides, I have arranged the cards in my T206
sets with respect to the Series they are in (150, 350, 460, etc.); therefore, Plank is placed in the 150 Series. Furthermore, this card was certainly more affordable.

Great Plank, Ted. The Monster can be confounding at times. Although it is generally thought that the SC150/25 back is more difficult across the board, in the case of Wagner and Plank, it is the SC150/30 that is relatively difficult to find.

On a side note, I've been looking at the T206 Magie portrait. Although the error is only found with a Piedmont 150 back, the correct version Magee actually has a lower PSA pop number with the Piedmont 150 back, (Magie 82 graded, Magee 69 graded) I may try to get the Magee Piedmont 150 first, and next I'll try and tackle the Magie...Rob

Someone check me on this count, but looking at these examples of Plank:

http://t206resource.com/Plank-Gallery.html

SC 150/25: 2
SC 150/30: 7
SC 150/can't read scan: 4
SC 350/30: 35
Pied: 4

A couple of the 150 examples are scrap/missing color.

Steve and Patrick, thanks for chiming in with those numbers. I am not drawing any conclusions, just speculating. There is really not enough data to conclude a lot, other than Plank is easier to find with a 350 back.

The numbers y'all are presenting do line up more with the sc150/25 to sc150/30 general ratios I've seen. I still think the evidence we have to present is more anecdotal than scientific, but I enjoy the debate. Rob
