JohnPaul, not referring to your Plank sorry if you though I was, but rough ones in general.
But fraud…..this is no different to me than a re-backed OJ, or rebuilt Just So, or perhaps even a re-colored Mayo. That was my view prior to the whole re-back factory issue Ted brought up. If in fact the corners were rebuilt and the card was touched up I was ok with that, not sure why one would need to but nonetheless ok with it.
Sort of like Ted Z's white out t206 Young from reading...(sorry Ted) not thrilled but ok with it.
However there are enough Planks out there to have one that has its original back, hence my bid withdrawal I’m not ok with 50% the card not being original…
Also speaking of Lionel Carter, I think you are misrepresenting him on your Plank a bit; I listened to the interview with him. He doesn’t elude that he spent a lifetime searching for another Plank, he basically says he kept that one and never found a better one, not that he was cash money in hand searching for an upgrade for 40+years etc and couldn’t find one.
