1939 Playball Gehrig, 1934 Goudey Ruth, and other cards that never were
Lately , the forum has addressed the omission of Joe Jackson in several sets such as T206, T205, and T207 among other E and T sets that could have featured him. There have been some great theories explaining why he was omitted. I have wondered since I started collecting as a kid why some other cards were never made, a few that come to mind are the '38 goudey and '39 Playball Lou Gehrig , 1934 goudey Babe Ruth, Fan Craze Mathewson , and even more perplexing to me Is if the T206 Plank is scarce because of a broken printing plate, why wasn't there an alternate Plank card in that set with a different pose ? I am wondering if any other members have thoughts on these or any other cards that never were? I know it is what it is but it's still fun to imagine what some of these would look like if they were made?
