Kudos to Hunt Auctions

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

Not a typical sentiment on this board, and even weirder seeming, coming from another auction company, but their transparency on the gorgeous T206 Plank in their auction is to be commended.

Despite the fact the card is in an SGC 5 holder they disclosed the card's history, including that it had been removed from a scrapbook.

It's this level of transparency to which we should all aspire.

Well done.

I know nothings about T206s, but to me the colors look a little washed out. Was that from the soaking and conservation to remove the glue from the back?

No, that's due to it being a "350" back. Towards the end of the 350 portion of the 150-350 Series print run(s) the 350 backs got that "washed out" look to them. I think it looks cool, but most collectors prefer the bolder fronts of "150" backs.

Thanks Scott. I just looked at the auction. Some really great stuff. HOWEVER:

1. They have numerous cards where they dont show a back scan -- whats up with that? For example, a T206 Demmitt Polar Bear and they dont show a scan of the back, which is the only reason anyone cares about a T206 Demmitt!

2. I dont understand the Live auction (I did read the rules). If each lot ends with a live auction, then why take/make bids between now and December 10th? Does the live auction start where the highest internet bid is? Do you need to bid during the internet portion to bid in the live portion?
