Cant seem to find the discussion. Long story short that card at one time was missing most of its borders and had some infield issues wavy missing cut like the 150 Piedmont REA sold. The card was then nestled into another T206's borders. If you overlay that card in Photoshop compared to other Planks you will notice the "A" in his uniform is much closer to the right border because of the amount of the card that was missing. At one time I did an image but can't find it. I think some nice collectors still own the card as an extra Plank its a cool card nonetheless. Funny SGC didn't place altered on that holder...

Here is a quick image I did, you can see the fold in his uniform and a bit of the uniform is cut off compared to the random Planks on the left....

The Plank shown from the Huggins auction has had too much restoration for my taste. There was a PSA Plank in REA a few years ago that had a little bit of restoration compared to the Plank pictured. The eye appeal was superb, and it had a SC 150 back. The REA one would be the card I would purchase.
