Default Altered reprint big time!

I say fake. The white paper at the bottom of the card screams altered. Ne1 else have a different opinion?

Impossible to tell for sure from the photo.

But even if authentic, that card is completely obliterated.

I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it even if authentic. It's horrible.

If it was real, it would be worth a lot more than $200. A hellava lot more.

I don't think it can even be slabbed.

Not enough card left.

It's next to worthless.

If that card were a stamp, I don't care if it's an inverted Jenny, it's worth maybe 1-2% of book value in that condition.

We're talking Plank. Compare to a Wagner.

"The T206 Eddie Plank is not only the set's second most valuable card, but is arguably the hobby's second rarest and most valuable card behind the T206 Wagner. "

Take a look at the printing under 40x magnification and you should be able to see some trace of the original printing.

If it's real, I would be shocked if anyone pays more than $1,000 for that card.

As I stated above, it's fake. The white at the bottom of the card says that. Wrong card stock. But if it was real...mega bucks.

I don't think it matters much if a reprint is altered or not.

It looks like a reprint that has been abused to make it appear older. And I think that if it was real, it would sell in the thousands. It's still a Plank. There is a Wagner in Memory Lane that was in terrible shape before it was restored. It still sold for over $200K before the restoration.

I beg to differ. If the reprint is altered then the best it can receive is an AUTHENTIC grade if it is encapsulated....... vomit....

Check out the following thread for the topic of restoring a desirable card that is in pretty beat condition.
