Regarding Plank not having more than one pose in T206.....
A few months back, I believe Ted Z hypothisized that it was perhaps a "rights" issue with several of the Philadelphia players, between the American Tobacco Co and American Caramel Co. As American Caramel was based in Philadelphia, Ted theorized that American Caramel had the "rights" to portray the Philly players (including Plank), and that they forced American Tobacco to withdraw the Plank portrait. This would have also kept the ATC from issuing a different pose of Plank in the 350 or 350-460 series.
It would also explain why Connie Mack wasn't represented in T206.
