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.

It has nothing to do with what I say, the definition of only and the
fact that Plank is on a 350 back is the reason he isn't a 150 only subject.
