Hi David. Yep i don t post a lot in the past weeks. I take a little brake of my
T206 set building, i don t want be bored about that. I bought a couple hockey HOF rookie cards in the last weeks for my collection.
But i still continue to come on the board and read each day .

Not to derail this very interesting thread, but Nelson, HOW could you ever be bored with that Plank in your pocket? Dave.

[g_vezina_c55]

LOL i am not bored... i don t want to be bored in the futur ehehe, so i collect slowly and i take brake.
I am a verry enthusiast guy and when i do a Hobby , like you probably know, i' ll do it at 100 MPH So i try to be a moderate guy

I always enjoy look at the Plank with the Magie and the Demmitt.

I will perhaps make new T206 purchase at the shriners show next week.

I'd like to think my Wags came out of a pack of smokes not off the scrap pile.

Does it matter? The Wagner is the Wagner.

So if a factory employee took one home instead of inserting it in the pack it isn't a real Wagner?

Back to a car example, a gifted Ferrari it isn't as good as a Ferrari bought from a dealership because it didn't arrive via it's intended method of distribution?

I think what they're saying is that a card is really a card when its inserted into a pack and pulled.

I'd have to agree. What's better in your mind? Pulling a 52 Mantle from a pack or being given one? I'd rather pull it from a pack if I could choose.

You don't happen to own any MLB teams in the Southwest do you?

Nelson, I love those Cuda's. I always thought they were much cooler than the Mustangs and Chevelle's. I would love to own one, but old, bald guys don't look cool, even in a Cuda.

That was funny

I think that the sheet/strip this Wagner and Plank came from would have (in todays market) exceeded the top price of that PSA 8 Wagner. Maybe not back in '84,,,but I think in these days it would sell for huge $$.

I think that beat up strip with Wagner on it is very undervalued-meaning what it sold for last time-someone got a steal !!! Even being beat up. Just my opinion.
