Default T206 150-only Series cards......

American Lithographic initially printed 12 subjects on a sheet which were the first T206's (issued circa Spring/Summer 1909). Depicted here are these 12 guys............






The above 10 subjects were issued with these 5 backs......





The Wagner and Plank were printed with PIEDMONT 150 and SWEET CAPORAL 150 (Factory #25 & #30)......but, were issued only with the SWEET CAP brand.

. .




Furthermore, for a very short period, American Litho continued issuing the Plank card (with the SWEET CAPORAL 350 Factory #30 back) against Eddie's wishes.

Eddie Plank was very anti-tobacco (in any form) **

You are entitled to your opinion. However, as I see this, the Plank card is a true 150-only Series card. As is the Honus Wagner card.



** Note...... Documented in Connie Mack's Biography (by Norman L. Macht)
