T206 Plank Auction

[sb1]

John,

While most Harris cards are suspect, this Plank is obviously wider than normal and does not appear short top to bottom. I would want to see this one in person to make a final determination, as the overall size is very close to my 150 Plank. Very nice bold blue, but the L/R centering is distracting to me.

I think all these forums and their members sometimes take themselves a bit too serious. In fact it's a common running joke amongst auction houses that the bulk of any forum members talk a big game and never bid…basically saying that for the most part forums and their members could boycott them and they would be just fine.

Could a banner ad add value to his business sure I don’t see how it could hurt. However to think it’s a game changer and will bring so called huge unknown players to the block...I think that’s a stretch.

Cheers,

P.S. Scott there is a PSA 7 granted I think it's trimmed but it's still one heck of a SC150. Then you are correct...it goes a few EX, a few VGEX then VG and down and that's about of the 150's I know of. I have heard rumor of a EX+ raw one...but who knows...

Scott, agree. Also agree a lot of the Harris cards can be something to review close.

I made the comment on this certain card due to its history and past owner Copeland. Who was the unfortunate end owner of many a trimmed card back in the day due to his thirst for cherry cards and the dealers who prayed on that thirst.

Cheers,

John

Wow. that went for cheap, even if it might be a "weak" 5. i got one or two emails from them, but not the typical "5 hours left...4 hours left...3 hours left, etc." (which are annoying BTW). but there should be a happy medium. Goldin sends out WAY too many emails on the other end of the spectrum (it's like, yes, i get it, your auction is closing, but i don't need 11 emails about it.)...but with this auction, there wasn't enough emails. in hind-sight, this might have been a piece that i would have tried convincing my wife that we "need" to invest in. this PSA 5 Plank will sell for double in 3-5 years from now, mark my words.

i have a funny feeling the HA PSA 3 Plank might go for close to as much as this one, higher profile auction, plus live auction, there might be some fireworks over it.
