Interesting Erick. There is definitely a pattern and logical layout used, a known sheet size or uncut strip/partial sheets would really help.

We have yet to see a front miscut t206 with the same card/player side by side, the few examples known are always different.
We have yet to see a front "ghost" or offset with the same player repeated twice, the many examples known are always different.
We have yet to see a front miscut with four parts of either two or four players/cards.

This does not necessarily prove that the sheets did not have multiples of the same column configuration repeated across the sheet. There could have been a repeated row of 12341234123412341 for certain key players or 1231231231231234. There might have been columns with only one player, or maybe 3+. The fact that we see thousands of miscut double namers but only 30-40 two namers is puzzling. Maybe 34 is correct but the spread is not two equal rows of seventeen

I think tracking the plate scratches on the early P150 cards is definitely worth putting effort into, same with print marks per layer. I like the 34 theory for a starting point, some of the smaller subsets with non 34 divisible numbers should be looked into further.
