T206 Drum 350 series

[caramelcard]

Don't know why I've never noticed this simple fact, but after glancing at all the T206 backs today I noticed that the Drum back is the only back that has a series designation (350 series) that doesn't have another one.

All the other backs that have one (150 or 350) have another one (350 or 460)...even Broadleaf which was obviously printed in smaller numbers like Drum.

Do you think there was a Drum 460 subjects planned when the 350 series was distributed, but the premiums/or cigarettes weren't popular enough?

According to Ted's A/B/C/D connection thread (if I'm reading it correctly) Drum and Broadleaf were printed later than other 350 series brands and close to the time of the other 460 cards, but Broadleaf 460s did eventually squeak out. What happened to the 460 Drums?

Any thoughts?
