Default Were T206's printed on sheets of 48 Subjects ?

Ted- How about four high and twelve wide per sheet? That would also fit the known Polar Bear set numbers (252 = 13 sheets) and would also fit the Hindu SL numbers? The 12 card could be repeated vertically on the entire sheet or, in the case of the Phillippe miscut, have a few players replaced on the sheet, say 2 each of 6 players and an extra 2 Pirates players along the top of the sheet. You could also use this printing system to allow the "superprint" cards to work on the Sovereign 460 set
In the case of the 649 overprints, we're one away from a three-sheet run, allowing for one example (perhaps on either edge, thus being subject to damage/miscut) slipping through our collective net so far.
With the Sweet Cap 35-460's, I bet if we broke it down by factory, we would come up with groups of twelve.
So your idea works on multiple levels, I think. Looking forward to hashing this over over some hash on the 24th
