Anyone own a 350 series back Ty Cobb with
the green background? Is it more scarce
than the 150 series back?

I believe the scarcity would depend on the cigarette brand on the back as well as the factory it came from. Here is a list of scarcity depending on cigarette back and factory. http://www.t206museum.com/page/price_list2.html

In the 150 series the card should be available
w. Piedmont, Sweet Cap, Sovereign, El Principe
de gales, Old Mill, and the brown Hindu.

In the 350 series no other brands issue it,
and it is dropped early from production,
possibly in 1909.

My thoughts are its a time related issue
because it is likely it was issued for a
longer period of time in the 150 series
than in the 350 series.

If that is the case, a Sovereign 350 series
green background Cobb would be a very difficult
card to acquire for example.
