The 1953 ACC shows 522. The Appendix, which the listing refers to, mentions Plank and Wagner. Maybe they added Magie to get to 522 and then that just leaves a single card to get to the old 523.

It was still 522 in the 1960 edition BTW but Demmitt and O'Hara were now mentioned in the main listing; they were not specifically mentioned in 1953 but would have been included in the earlier counts unless only one was known for a while.

Using the old numbering system (which is not in the ACC and was ordered by team as it turns out-see next paragraph), the following cards are listed as having premium prices over the common 10 cents in 1960's Appendix (25 cents for SL'ers and $1.00 for Demmitt & O'Hara all shown in main listing): 25 cents - 4, 208, 242; 50 cents - 168, 172, 347a; $1 for 104, 148, 383. $10 for Plank no. 143 and $50 for Wagner no. 368. The pricing and numbering for these cards mentioned in the appendix were unchanged from 1953. I'm pretty sure 347a is Magie.

Looking then to Lipset's cross reference of the old T206 checklists, Wagner being no 368 refers to Egan's T206 checklist from the American Book of Checklists. However, I don't see an obvious blank in the Egan column and I don't have time to look further right now. Maybe someone else can cipher it from all this.
