Default Why is the Smoky Joe Wood M116 so in demand....

Posted By: mark t

There are 8 examples -- 1 graded psa 5, 2 graded psa 6, 3 graded psa 7, 1 graded psa 8, 1 graded psa 9. I have a m116 Heinie Beckendorf with a total population of 3 and i bought it for $35. I know Wood was a great player but he is not in the Hall of Fame? I guess its the look of the card that makes it worth what its worth. If i'm asking dumb questions please forgive me, i am just learning about vintage cards and it seems there is plenty of baseball fans out there that are very knowledgeable, thanks.

p.s. Could these cards this guy is selling be proofs? He claims they are store displays but looks more like what proofs would resemble. or they could be fakes.
