Someone mentioned it already, but I think if Wagner and Plank had no issues with being included in a tobacco set, we'd most likely see 3-4 different Wagner poses (maybe two portraits and a batting and fielding) and 2-3 Planks (portrait and maybe two different pitching variations). Given their status in the game at the time, I'd equate Wagner maybe a step below Cobb and a step above Lajoie. I'd put Plank right in the group with Brown and Bender. Given that, you'd think that they would have a similar number of poses to choose from. They would also most likely then have been included in the T205 set as well. I think Wagner's cards would be a little less than Cobb but higher than anyone else in the set. I'd think Plank would be most comparable to Bender in value.

Desiderata

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Strive to be happy.
