Has Magee been found with all the possible backs in its 350/460 group? For example, are there American Beauty, Drum, Sovereign350, SweetCap350, and Peidmont350 cards known (backs which are not present in the 460 series only group)?

Brian

First, an answer to your last ? ......Magee (bat) is found with at least 17 different T206 backs (350 & 460).

All the 350/460 series Sweet Caporal 460, Factory 30 cards were overprinted with Factory #42 and shipped to the Durham, NC plant for insertion into Sweet Cap
cigarette packs.
It's my understanding that Sweet Cap 460, Factory 30 cards were not shipped to Factory #30 in NYC.

Of course, your Magee appears to contradict this. Very interesting card you have there....and, I would say a very rare one at that.

Here's an offset Factory #42 overprinted scroll, revealing the original Factory #30 bottom line.
