Read sb1's above post. He speaks from experience.

A quick run through the gallery on the T206 Resource (http://t206resource.com/Plank-Gallery.html) shows:

Sweet Caporal 150: 12
Sweet Caporal 350: 34
Piedmont 150: 4
Back Unknown: 10
Total: 60

I went quickly so this isn't perfect, and I didn't bother to try to guess whether the scans without backs are 150 or 350 (though it wouldn't be too hard for the decent scans given the significant difference in image quality). But there are a lot more 350s than 150s.

To take Bryan's tally a step further of the 150's shown, all of the Piedmonts are Fact 25. none of the 350's appear to be, but I am pretty sure when I had better scans from matched PSA certs that 1 one was Fact 25. All of the rest of the 150's are Fact. 30's.

This is what I have in my notes of the ones that I could tell what the factory's were.

SC150/25 - 1
SC150/30 - 9
PD150 - 5
SC350/30 35
