We all have heard the various theories on why the Wagner is so rare, but I've never heard anything along those lines about the Plank.

I have presented several theories over the years on this forum as to why American Lithographic discontinued issuing the T206 Plank card. Anyhow, I'll spare you the search......
I believe Eddie Plank's aversion of tobacco in any form is the dominant reason. He (most likely) contacted the American Tobacco Co. and and insisted that they cease and desist
issuing his image on tobacco cards.
