The Magie error card has a Piedmont 150 back.

I've had two of them and they both had the same
back. Can anyone else confirm my observation on
this rare T206 ?

So, we have developing here in our discussion a
common sheet (Piedmont 150 backs) comprising the
three most rare cards in the set. And, let's assume
this is true, then I can imagine the employees at
the printing plant were not going to "screw around"
cutting up "paper dolls". They were instructed to
discard all the Wagner cards on the 1st press runs
so they took the easy way out and disposed of the
entire sheets. It's no more complicated than that.
Unfortunately, Plank and Magie and many more cards
went into the garbage in the process.

But, the availability of all the other cards on this
unique sheet, was not affected to any great degree
since they were printed on subsequent press runs
with different backs.
