I gotta believe there were a lot more released than we can imagine. (Forgive the ignorance...) Did Wagner, in fact, tell the tobacco monger(s) to shove it and remove his cards from their products? Is it documented? (I thought the anti-tobacco 'story' was more or less anecdotal.) If that's a "yes," then logically there would've been plenty out in the marketplace before the controversy unfolded, and the cards ceased being printed. Those Honus horses would've left the barn in the same quantities as the other players (assuming it wasn't a short-print scenario, of course).
