Chris, from the two name and vertical miscuts I knew there were at least two vertical subjects on the 150 back sheets when I first started doing the research on the plate scratches and I actually expected to see that when I started trying to piece them together but as the sheets started to come together I realized that wasn't the case and that they were printed with the same vertical subject all the way up the sheet. I can't say exactly how many plate scratch cards I've seen but it's in the thousands at one point I owned over 500 myself and while I've seen two name plate scratch cards I've never seen one with two different names and from the size of the plate scratch sheets if there was another section on top of one of the plate scratch sheet the size of that sheet would be massive.
Here's how I feel the sheets were printed as far as vertical subjects for each series.
150 backs - a mix of 2 vertical subjects and 1 vertical subjects with a higher % of 1 vertical subject.
350 backs - likely all 2 vertical subjects
350/460 backs - likely all 1 vertical subject
460 backs - likely all 1 vertical subject
Here's a Powell with a plate scratch that SGC put in the holder upside down. I wish it was an upside down back but it's a name at top.
