Not that common, but they are seen from time to time.
In the 350-only series, four Pirates (Abstein, Maddox, D. Miller and Phillippe) were printed in larger quantities owing to Pittsburg's 1909 World Series victory. I believe this was done by giving these four players their own vertical strip on a 350-only T206 sheet as well as 1/2 of another player's strip. Thus, so the theory goes, Maddox received his own vertical strip as well as being alternated with Snodgrass (Batting) on another vertical strip. Phillippe received his own vertical strip as well as being alternated with Engle on another vertical strip (another board member has a miscut Phillippe/Engle card demonstrating this). This probably means that Engle, Snodgrass (Batting) and two other 350-only subjects were similarly long-printed.
