For me it’s the Jordan.
As a kid in the 80’s and 90’s I remember hearing about the exploding value of that card. And as we all watched Jordan’s incredible career play out, that just increased the mystique of that card. To me, the Jordan is desirable, and it is a card I would love to have in my collection to look at, show off, and enjoy.
I collect prewar baseball cards, but don’t really collect t206 (I have a handful).
The only reason I know about the Plank and it’s value is because of knowledgeable collectors like you guys. But I have no ‘connection’ to it or a true desire for it. The value of the Plank to me would be purely monetary, but owning a Jordan would actually “mean” something to me if that makes sense.
Good poll and good discussion!
