Hi Andrew,
On the board there have been some ranking of the rare backs from T206 in other threads. The Piedmont 42 is on the list, so you can compare it's scarcity to other backs, such as AB 460, Cycle 460 or Hindu. I doubt anyone has figures for the number of graded or ungraded in circulation. I don't believe SGC or PSA keeps POPs for P42's separately.

The last Piedmont 42 I got graded SGC put factory 42 on the flip.
These are a tough back and can be had at a reasonable price because of the Piedmont ad. Some dealers still sell these as regular Piedmont 206s.

I found a couple at the last Philly show and they still show up on ebay.

The surveys we have conducted here on Net54 have shown that the Red Cobb is a DOUBLE PRINT with the PIEDMONT 460 factory 42.
Whereas, most of the 72 cards that were printed with the PIEDMONT 460 factory 42 back are equally represented, the red Cobb has
consistently sampled at twice that number.
