Your estimate of Planks seems high.

If production of Plank was stopped at the same time as wagner, then mistakenly restarted with the 350 series before being stopped again, there would have to be a significantly larger number of 350 series Planks for your estimate to hold true.

I like the question, though. And I think that our obsession with the minutia of this set is why other collectors hate T206.

This is why I concentrate on the card fronts as the priority.

As long as the back are clean, it's still a nice over-100-year-old card.

Johnny, I take it back.

I checked T206resource.com. Here are the results:
Plank with unlisted back - 11
Plank - 150 series - 16
Plank - 350 series - 31

If these results are indicative, nearly twice as many Planks were produced during the 350 series run, so there should be approximately three Planks for every Wagner.
