If I'm paying a premium for a Piedmont 350/25 or a Sweet Caporal 350/30 I just to make sure I'm not over paying. Thanks!!

Almost all of the back scarcity lists are based on the difficulty of just acquiring a particular back example without any consideration of who the subject is.
Using the print group 1 subjects as an example Hindu is the toughest print group 1 back ranked at #14 but in many cases you will find it much harder to find an Old Mill back which is ranked at #29 when looking for a particular subject and that same subject might be even harder to find with a Sweet Caporal 350 factory 25 back which is ranked at #37 of the 39 hardest backs.
I think the closest to what you're looking for you will find in the lists that James worked on and posted in this thread.

One of the fun things about T206's is the "hidden gems" there are a few combo's that most people would find shocking and very few people know about but don't reveal because it can take years for one to become available.
There are a few combos above the #30 back ranking that you could be waiting for years before one becomes available.
