Default My T206 Plank theory....and, what's your guess ?

I really appreciate you "hanging in" with me on this idea. And, your right about the "popularity factor",
as I would like to term it. The Washington team was at the bottom of the standings, and the E90-1
player roster reflects this.....as it is very under-represented with players from this team.
Conversely, Connie Mack's A's were at the top of their game; hence, many more A's in this set.

These neat little BB cards were meant as premiums to sell more caramel candies and obviously you
want the stars and the best players in the game pictured on them. I think some time we lose sight
of the fact that whether it was Tobacco, Bubble Gum, or Candy, this was the primary product these
Companies were in business to sell....not BB cards.
