Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>If I were the one cutting up that sheet, I sure would have been a lot more careful with the Plank. For this reason alone, I doubt it came from the same hypothesized sheet as the Wagner may have. If that Wagner card was in fact cut from a sheet in 1981 or even the '70's for the purpose of having the individual cards, they surely would have been very careful in the cutting process around the other most important cards.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>If cut in 1909 at a factory or home by a factory worker for themselves or their kids, they probably would have been more careless than a dealer who bought a sheet in the late '70's or early '80s.<br />Jim

Posted By: <b>Scott Elkins</b><p>From my understanding, the person who cut the cards originally wasn't that careful. This resulted in the Wagner being oversized, as he must have known that was a good card to have and was more careful with it. I agree with you however, that it seems, at least with our knowledge of the Plank, that one would have been extremely careful cutting the Plank from the sheet.<br /><br />However, since this is the ONLY Piedmont 150 Plank I have ever seen and is definitely hand cut, I know of no other candidate for the Plank that came from the Piedmont 150 sheet that the PSA 8 Wagner came from??????????<br /><br />Hopefully Mike O'Keeffe's book will shed more light on the subject - cannot wait until its release! I know from speaking with Mr. O'Keeffe over the past three years or so, that he has done a lot of research and found a lot of info. on the Wagner and its history - should be an interesting book IMHO. <br /><br />From a collector's standpoint, I only wish the people involved had not been so greedy and left the sheet intact. That way, if the sheet was a 1909 period sheet from the factory, we would have a wealth of knowledge about the T206 printing process. Certainly, a period sheet with a Plank and Wagner on it would be worthy of display at the HOF and a great study tool for researchers of the set and printing process of the cards.

Posted By: <b>Eric B</b><p>If the Wagner was next to the Plank he would have cut as much border around the Wagner as possible.....up to the color part of the surrounding cards.

Posted By: <b>Scott Elkins</b><p>This is the first I heard of it. However, I did pay up the Premium Membership for one and a half years - there should be no spam or problems on the site. I will have to inquire other members if this has happened with them as well, as I have not heard of it until now. I will definitely check it out, as it should not be happening. Thanks again, Scott

Posted By: <b>peter chao</b><p>Guys,<br /><br />Another possibility is that back in the '70s and '80s centering simply was as important as it is now. The entire sheet may have been miscut so the guy who did the cutting didn't really have that much of a choice.<br /><br />Peter
