T206 Plank mystery

T206 Plank has been a mystery for 108 years. In Dec 2006, after a lot of research, my "wild imagination" formed a theory for this card's scarcity..... T206 Plank theory It was a popular thread with 113 responses; and, it is somewhat intricate. But I think you'll find it quite interesting. . I waited a long time to acquire this Plank, simply because I wanted one whose back was a SWEET CAPORAL 150, Factory #30.....in order to complete my all--Sweet Cap, Factory #30 set. The majority of the Plank cards have Sweet Cap 350 backs. OK, Plank's card is really no mystery in my mind anymore, since I read Connie Mack's response to a Philadelphia sports writer circa 1910..... "The secret of Plank's pitching is no secret at all. It is a good strong arm, a powerful constitution to back it, and neither drinks, smokes, chews tobacco, nor swears...." ** Eddie Plank most likely informed ATC that he did not want his image portrayed on Tobacco cards. Being the low-keyed guy that he was, he didn't "hype" it up like Wagner did. Let's hear your thoughts on this subject ? ** "Connie Mack", by Norman Macht TED Z . |
