Default Was Plank the 36th card in the Sweet Cap 150 Fac 649 set ?

Posted By: Ted Zanidakis

These 35 cards in the Sweet Caporal 150 Factory 649 (overprint) set each have six 150-type backs. This is
more "150" backs than any other cards in the entire 150 Series.
Shown here is Mike "Doc" Powers with all the 6 backs. The Powers card is one of the most available cards in
this sub-set. Walter Johnson (portrait) and Christy Mathewson (white cap) are also very easy cards to find.

Ironically, Mike Powers suffered a serious injury on Opening Day (April 12, 1909) of Shibe Park in Philadelphia.
Two weeks later he died.
