Ummm.....

You can see where I might be confused. There's 153 confirmed SCF30s with 34 of them getting the 649OP eventually. Not a big deal, I just thought the bit above might not be clear about why those 34 cards would be discussed.

Remember, prior to the overprints on these cards, they were initially printed with SC 150 Factory #30 backs.




I brought this up recently, since his SC 350 cards are only out of Factory #30 NYC. The regional distribution from this factory of these Sweet Cap packs was limited
to New York and New England.




I posted a 2 threads on this forum in 2006 and 2007 spelling out exactly this. Here is the link to one of them......

Both true, and that's where those parts of the ideas come from. Until there's something concrete I have to think of them as just ideas. While some of my ideas are new (or rather the concepts are new as far as looking at cards) They must include the previous and other current thoughts as possibilities.

The rest is a bit of a more complicated version of what John has said. Plank was a victim of bad planning or timing or something. That's the simple explanation.
Of course with a year and a half to include him later the question becomes what exactly happened. I can't really see Plank getting dropped because of simple bad timing and not added back in later. So the question becomes what exactly happened. Maybe they really did simply make a mistake and didn't catch it.
