Their issue dates coincide quite closely for the first two (150 & 350) Series.
Shown here is Scot's timeline diagram from his book......
Two points that Corson stated in his article need to be clarified:
There is some confusion regarding Corson's description of the 2 cards of Bill Dahlen. Dahlen's Boston
card is only in the 150/350 series. While his Brooklyn card is only in the 350 series.
The 2nd card of Neal Ball (Cleveland) is not in the 350 series, it is in the 460-only series.
In Corson's defense....I believe that it's only recently that the 460-only series has been identified as
a distinct series of its own. In the '60s, the last 110 cards were all classified in the 350-460 series.
