So I take it that one possible theory is that if this factory 30 anom sat at the bottom border of the 9th card in; there was a horizontal row of 17 cards, right?

Secondly, if Dooin is the most recent factory 30 anom found, that would make a total of 19 so far.

Does this mean that in Print Group 1 (which had 159 subjects) with some subjects printed dupes and trips; had at least 19 sheets printed??

Take care Charlie

Well, that's not a question that can have a simple yes/no answer.

It's possible the number was in more than one spot on a sheet.
It's also possible the sheets were more than 17 cards wide.
It's possible that some sheets did not have a factory number in the margin.
The art was changed between the 150 and 350 series, making things more involved


Add to that a few more possibilities like complex sheet layouts and the only answer that works is that 19 subjects show a marginal factory number Indicating a possible 19 different sheets.
Of course the 350 series also had art/plate modifications during the overall print run, many cards have differences that indicate at least two or three different printings. (And there may be differences between backs)

Came across this McGraw to add to the list which I believe makes twenty
different subjects found with a Factory #30 so far.

That is a nice looking card.
