First, let's start with a 522 card T206 set (no Magie or Joe Doyle error).

Then, we remove the 48 Southern Leaguers and the 15 Repeats; therefore....522 - 48 - 15 = 459 Initial Designs


The American Tobacco Co. (ATC) in 1909 initially planned the 150 Series to consist of 150 cards.

The 2nd Series (1910) ATC planned to add another 200 cards. So, the total (150 + 200), hence the "350 Series".

The 3rd series ATC planned for a total of 110 cards (150 + 200 + 110), hence "460 Series".

However, the actual number of Subjects (or designs) in these series is as follows......
