Eddie Plank ☆ Ebay

[Peter_Spaeth]

lol

[bcornell]

PWCC states this is the "#3 Most Important Card in the Hobby"

After, of course

#1 that Uncle Sam guy on the T209
#2 T205 Wilhelm "suff red" (or is it the other one?)

Some awesome items in that auction, for sure. I'm sure I will bid on and lose many auctions. One question: is it me, or is the "Certified High End" designation being used a bit liberally?

heck yeah..and I wonder why they do certified high end on grades with a half grade.....there usually POP 3 or less in half grades....so high end for the grade..means best out of 3 cards? haha

Well, I've already been left in the dust (I was the fifth bidder on it)

The only other ebay Plank I can remember was in 2003/04 timeframe. I think the seller was someone like "Big Ed's" or something in Pennsylvania. It was either a PSA 1 or 2 that went for $16,300, with my bid at $16,200

T206resource.com has either 4 or 5 Planks listed as selling on ebay over the years.

Heck, anyone see the '52 Topps Mantle PSA 8?

Yea, it's been advertised ahead-of-time, but still.....

less than 1/2 hour in, and it's over $300K!!!!!

Auctions go two ways usually...80% of the sale price bid beginning of auction..or 80% bid toward end of auction.. (maybe not that exact percentage but you see what I am getting at)

never understood why sellers get excited about early action that's still below market price...if its above market price early on...that's a whole different scenario...but if the bidding is still under market...makes no difference to me if early action or late action..

Mantle is at 300K after about five minutes. Same two bidders bidding it up as the Plank, interestingly.

3 years ago, a PSA 8 52 MM was around $80k, wow.

Wagner, similar huge increase...but...

The Plank however, has been flat for 20 years, no huge spike.

PWCC is getting a tremendous number of quality consignments, and a lot of "the big boys" are becoming well aware of it. The Mantle is in line with recent sales from what I would have thought were better known auction houses.

Best,
