Eddie Plank
The buyer made a great find.......I think. Not sure.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Gettysburg-...p2047675.l2557 He sure made out nicely on the 1st one, now has a second one up. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1900-Baseba...p2047675.l2557 But I wonder if the Planks, were from extended members possibly of the Plank family. Was maybe back then not unusual for families to live close to together even all in the same town? None to me look like "S" is the second initial, but please let me know if real. One of THEE best finds ever if so. But to me all 3 look different. Maybe 1 is an Eddie Plank the other is Mrs Plank, or a brother or sister, or parent? Thoughts? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1900-Baseba...UAAOSwcsJgFvMd Last edited by Shoeless Moe; 01-31-2021 at 09:07 PM.

imo I dont think these are signed by Ed. His E.S. Plank sig has a very clear S. This second initial is not even close to an S. It is very possible this is a relative plus it was somewhat common for people to sign bank notes first and middle initial (as you can see from the other notes in the lot). By Coincidence this just happens to be the way Ed signed his name most of the time.

I don't believe it is real also. While I agree with the seller that the PSA check is bad, he obviously sent these for at least a quick opinion and it failed. Otherwise, these would be encapsulated and selling for 10 times the amount the last one sold for. Even if it were real for arguments sake, as I have learned the hard way, if a TPA won't pass it-it has no real value.
Additionally, as other has said-and as the other 1900 check proves-his "S" is very distinctive and that middle initial looks nothing like an "S" to me, I would go with an H. Here is my 1913 signed banquet menu for comparison purposes:
