JasonHere is what happened:
300,000,000 subjects were intended to be produced, but the printing plate broke for Plank and Wagner got pissed he didnt get more $$$ so he had his card pulled. Ao actually 299,460,000 were produced of which 227,000,590 were either birds, flags, or other depictions and that leaves 72,459,410 actually baseball players. Now given time and consideration of the straggling cowboys that mostly smoked these brands.....65,330,000 were lost to bullet holes, toilet tissue, and victims of unicycle spokes....the left approximately 7,129,410 of which 4,900,000 or so are in circulation today. The other 2,229,410 cards are still left pristinely wrapped and stored away in their original packs waiting for a MR. Mint warehouse discovery left to hapen in 2010.
