And one more question:
Do you think that the number of Wagner SC 150s and the number of Plank SC 150s is roughly the same with the Plank 350s accounting for the slightly larger number of extant Planks than Wagners? JimB |

From the point that the Piedmont sheets were removed until the next printing of Plank was an interesting time in the print group 1 production. Here's how we explain the progression of the Plank on the site. After the Piedmont 150 printing in which the Plank cards were not distributed, several more printings took place that did not include the Plank card. The first was for distribution with Hindu brand cigarettes. In total, 102 major-league subjects were printed at this time, with a third of the available subjects, including Plank, not being printed. The next printing was for the transition of the set from the 150 to the 350 series, with subjects being printed with Piedmont 350 and El Principe De Gales backs. Of the available subjects that could be printed at this time, just more than half were included and just less than half were not printed. Again, Plank was in this large no-print group. Of these two print runs, many subjects from print group 1 were absent from one or the other, with a group of subjects that included Plank being absent from both. The next printing was for Sweet Caporal 350 No.30 and included Plank. After the distribution of Plank cards with this back, no additional cards of his were printed. It is not known if a cease and desist of some kind was presented to the companies responsible for the set or if they simply chose to remove the card on their own. Quote:
Yes, I believe the additional printing of the Plank with a 350 back accounts for there being more Planks than Wagner's. Last edited by Abravefan11; 01-21-2012 at 07:27 AM. |

Tim- I had a run quite a few years back when I handled four Planks within a period of 2-3 years. And if memory serves, they were all 350's. In fact, I can't recall ever handling a 150.

Hi Barry - John's makes a good case for their being more 350 Planks than 150. I don't have any reason at this time to think that he isn't correct. The only two points I was addressing in my last post was that I don't think there are more Wagner SC 150's than Plank SC 150's. And that the additional Sweet Caporal 350 printing of Plank is why there are more examples of Planks overall than Wagner's.

I agree Tim. The only thing that makes the Plank more available is that it had a second print run.
P.S.- I don't want you to think I forgot about yout email, but I couldn't come up with any fresh T206 articles. Sorry. Last edited by barrysloate; 01-21-2012 at 07:49 AM. |

Tim, if I'm reading this correctly, what you just said was an explanation of various 350 printings that did NOT include Plank, so nothing new related to Plank. Unless I'm missing something, we already know his card wasn't printed with EPDG or Hindu back, or Piedmont 350 backs. Was that ever in question?

It's probably best that I concentrate on the Plank/Wagner theories. Quote:
