In anticipation of the usual question....why was Plank singled out, and not the other 11 A's players in the E90-1 set ?

Well, with the exception of Bender and Davis the following A's players were not portrayed in the 1st (or 150 series) of
the T206 set. And, Heitmueller, "Shoeless Joe" Jackson and "Stuffy" McInnis were not at all in the T206 set.....

HR Baker
Jack Barry
Chief Bender
Eddie Collins
Harry Davis
Jimmy Dygert
Heinie Heitmuller
Joe Jackson
Harry Krause
Stuffy McInnis
Eddie Plank
Ira Thomas

The long time connection Plank had with Lafean, that goes back to 1900, I feel is the "key" here.
