Yes, that is true, but it does not change the fact that it seems to have been conceptualized as a unified project - not one where the issuer determined that since there are far less than 100 different fronts subjects with Drum backs that we should not put "350 Subjects" on the back. The evidence suggests that they conceptualized the project as a unified project across specific brands.
