Um...doesn't the 'T' in T206 denote 'twentieth century' and not 'tobacco' as the 'expert' claimed?? Wow.

I'm paraphrasing, but she also trotted out the apocryphal story about Honus Wagner not wanting to encourage underage smoking as the reason he had his image removed from the series. There are no verifiable records pointing to an exact reason why he was removed (or had himself removed) from the set. Shouldn't she know that??

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
