Here's the plate scratch sheet they were all on with the exception of Wagner, Plank (I don't consider Plank a 150 only) and Powers.

The Gretzky Wagner and the Charlie Conlon Plank were hand cut from the same PIEDMONT 150 (Factory #25) sheet. This is an undeniable fact which tells us that Plank
was included in the print run of the first 12 subjects of the T206 set.
Like the Wagner card, ATC was forced to remove Plank from their initial 150 Series press runs. Subsequently, ATC issued Plank with SWEET CAP 350, Factory #30 backs.
Factory #30 produced tobacco products shipped to New York and the New England. Factory #25 tobacco products were shipped to Pennsylvania and the Southern states.
My guess is ATC wanted to continue issuing Plank (a very popular Pitcher), so they packed his card in Cigarette packs that were not meant for the Philadelphia market.
You can say what you want, but the Plank card is realistically a 150-only subject.
