There's a big difference as far as far as T206 is concerned, Eddie Plank had already won over 200 games as was a superstar of the day, Eddie Collins at the time barely had 100 career hits . Baker just had broke in in 1908, Walsh won 40 in 1908 so I could see a case being made for him,but none of these players at the time of this set being issued , was on the same level or even close as Plank. There was also a T206 proof of Collins batting that was never issued but is well documented.

Regarding Plank not having more than one pose in T206.....
A few months back, I believe Ted Z hypothisized that it was perhaps a "rights" issue with several of the Philadelphia players, between the American Tobacco Co and American Caramel Co. As American Caramel was based in Philadelphia, Ted theorized that American Caramel had the "rights" to portray the Philly players (including Plank), and that they forced American Tobacco to withdraw the Plank portrait. This would have also kept the ATC from issuing a different pose of Plank in the 350 or 350-460 series. It would also explain why Connie Mack wasn't represented in T206. Steve
