Are there any other clues for this T206?

Can anyone tell from this card what series and factory this T206 probably/might have come from? Just curious if there were any other clues on the card that might determine that.

Thanks,

That’s either a Piedmont 150 or a Piedmont 350. In either case it’s Factory 25.

To expand on David's comment, some collectors (not me) claim they can tell between 150 & 350 backs based solely on the quality/colors of the front card image. Hopefully, one of them will chime in.

He's trying to figure it out for a PSA order. Doubt PSA would label it either 150 or 350 subjects with the entire area rubbed off. Just label it a T206 Piedmont and let their crack identification team assign it to one. I don't think there's a measurable price difference for that card in PSA 1 POOR (MK) condition.

I'm one of those that are in the camp that the 150 series image clarity is often noticeably better than it's 350 or 350-460 counterparts. First run on the printing plates so to me it makes sense. To me at least!

Thanks for the replies! I tried what was suggested and put it between some P150s and P350s I have. I think this on would fall into the P350 group. At least for the examples I was comparing with, the narrow black borderline resembled the P350s. The P150s that I have, are crisp and clean compared to the P350s including this Bridwell.

I am betting 350, however, that conclusion is based only on the front. In my experience, many 150s are OC top to bottom, with 350s generally centered better. The front looks pretty well centered. Of course, many 150s are centered top to bottom, and I am sure some 350s are more OC top to bottom, so take my comment with a large grain of salt; but the front is more clear than the back....
