Answer
In the early 1900's, many baseball cards made then were sold in packs of cigars. However, Honus Wagner did not want kids buying cigars to get his card and was against smoking. He made the tobacco company stop making his card and that is how there are only a handful of his 1909 tobacco card left today.
