Even here, it really comes down to relative scarcity, which is a topic Luke talked about a lot on his site for T206s. If you look at the grouping of cards above with 5 backs, you see this grouping (not short prints but less commons, whatever you want to call them) are all much more populous when it comes to Piedmont 42s. For those cards, the average number of Piedmont 42s per subject is around 10. If you remove those 11 subjects and look at the other 63 subjects that have a Piedmont 42 back, the average per card is only 5 per subject. I found that 28 of the 63 had between 1-3 copies of the P42. Why are those 11 fronts so unique with having an outsized portion of their backs being Piedmont 42s? I'm not sure.
