My T206 Plank theory....and, what's your guess ?

DAVE.....and welcome to the club.

I like your style....of thinking, that is. You bring up a new factor that we have not considered.
I have heard the same thing about sportswriters in the '50s and Sy Berger of Topps fame.

In the Plank situation, I could very well imagine that the local sportswriters of the Philly news-
papers played a role in this mystery.

However, I still fall back on my original contention that the Philadelphia based American Caramel
Co. were in the market 1st (prior to T206) and there was no way that Am. Car. was going to let
anyone else print their hometown hero....Eddie Plank.

For a really detailed source of information on the T206 set you need to contact Scot Reader, who
has recently published an excellent book on this set, titled...."Inside T206".

It is available on line.

Thanks for your insightful response to this Thread.
