I said SWEET CAPORAL 150 Factory's #30 & #25....and, that's exactly what I meant. These are the only 2 factory's that the Wagner and Plank were shipped to,
to be issued in cigarette packs.
The SC 150 Factory #649 subjects are important, in that they serve the purpose of clueing us as to what subjects were printed in this early SC 150 series format.
Remember, prior to the overprints on these cards, they were initially printed with SC 150 Factory #30 backs.

Plank allowed existing cards to be sold but not around Philadelphia.

I brought this up recently, since his SC 350 cards are only out of Factory #30 NYC. The regional distribution from this factory of these Sweet Cap packs was limited
to New York and New England.

2d) His agreement with American Caramel would begin for 1910 and was exclusive. and his agreement with ALC or ATC was vague about how long his image could be used. so he couldn't be in the 350 series.
3) There was a conflict between ATC and Philadelphia caramel over the image used. That image is only in a few sets, T206, E95, and E107. E107s were too early, But E95 and T206 coincide. (There may be other sets, that I've missed)
