Population Reports

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Bill Kasel</b><p>To start off I am what I call a hybrid-collector. I truly "collect" pre-war because I am facinated with that era of baseball, and could stare those cards all day. I am also a realist when it comes to the overall investment of my cards. One day I may need to sell them (to support a second child lets say), or for whatever reason it may be. I also have started selling some to pay for future purchases. All that being said....<br /><br />Where is the best place to start for population reports? I'm more interested in some of the rarer sets or type cards. E107's for example....PSA doesn't even have a category that I could see to check for graded examples, and I had the same results at SGC. Is there a differet resource available to cross reference some of the more rare/obsure cards?<br /><br />Apologies to all if this is a stupid question.<br /><br />Thanks in advance for any guidance.<br /><br />Bill

Posted By: <b>Anthony</b><p>E107's are in the PSA pop report-<br />14 total graded, 1 8, 2 5's, 1 3-4's, and 7 1-2's<br />the 8 is an Eddie Plank.<br /><br />I suspect there are a few more that were misidentified and are in the pop reports for other sets.

Posted By: <b>Peter Thomas</b><p>That Plank was mine I bought it at 95 St. Louis national as a raw card. It looked too good to be true next to my beaters, but I bought it and it graded. Mastro auctioned it for me about 4-5 years ago. Wish I'd held it and it was being auctioned now.

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>Marc, Another big collector currently owns the PSA 8 Plank card. When the next highest PSA grade for any E107 card is EX and the next highest SGC grade is EX+, a card from that set in PSA 8 is simply incredible. To top it off, the PSA 8 is one of the key Hall of Fame rookie cards in the set. Amazing.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I think the PSA 8 was cracked out of its slab and sent to SGC for cross-over.<br /><br />At least, that's what I was told when I bought the card below.<br /><br />Don't you think this is the same card that got a PSA 8?<br /><br /><img src="http://www.lewisbaseballcards.com/classes/baseBallCard/images/586Lg.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Anson</b><p>Oh no, that looks like the same Plank I got back from Global, claiming it was trimmed <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Andy Baran</b><p>Hal,<br /><br />I know that you are only joking, but I would gladly buy the Plank back from you at the bargain price that I sold it to you for a few years ago.
