Scott ForrestPlank might have originally been an oversight or he was late to agree that his image could be used. 2 Possible scenarios of what then might have happened:
1)We know that in most cases each column had the same player's image - there are only a few examples of "2 name" cards with different names. Perhaps one image in a column was replaced with Plank's. This would make the Plank more rare, but probably not rare enough. If there were 20 images of a player per column, this would only make Plank 1/20th as rare as a normal image.
2) But, getting back to the few examples of "2 name" cards with different names. Maybe these were 'special' sheet(s) set up for unknown reasons and Plank was on such a sheet. It could also be that those ugly "yellow/brown" scraps we see were tests for such a sheet - there is indeed a Plank example. It would be really interesting to find a "2 name" "yellow/brown" card (those cards also have red, but generally a very small amount).
All wild theories, but if you plant these seeds in your mind, then when (if) supporting evidence shows up the light bulb might go off.
I'll sit back and wait for someone like Pete to explain why I'm totally nuts.
