E95 Plank vs E95 Matthewson

[aad0906]

Why does SMR list the price of the Matthewson higher than the Plank? The Plank is much harder to get and usually sells for prices way above SMR.

i am not aware of any scarcities within e95? matty typically sells for more than plank in most issues from my experience?

[Peter_Spaeth]

SMR is not necessarily reliable, lots of discrepancies and at least several issues where they have never understood the value such as CJs.

Vcp Has Mathewson more than plank in Psa 5 not by as much as usual but still more. Not sure where you got the idea plank was more in e95 than Matty.

Some of the SMR prices are accurate and some are laughably bad. When is the last time you saw a Cracker Jack Ty Cobb sell for $800 or a Cracker Jack Honus Wagner sell for $250?

I've always thought that the E95 Plank sold at a premium compared to other HOFs. Not sure if it's because of rarity, or if it's a nice alternative to the T206 Plank, but I think it definitely sells for more

By "more", I mean I think the price of an E95 Plank compared to E95 Cobb/wagner is closer than that of, say, an E90-1 comparison

Plank has always been strong in most mainstream issues. Matty is right there....probably a little in most series but not always.
