PWCC Plank currently on eBay PSA 2

[Leon]

Plank is a great card but this one isn't even that pleasing to the eye, imo. I guess any Plank is a good Plank though.

I could do without whatever stain that is, but the last one of theirs had creases where you couldn't see his eyes.

This Plank is from the 350 Series. The blue color on this later series always seems to be a bit washed-out compared to the 150 series Planks.

But yeah, any Plank is a special card.

[Jeffrompa]

I don't think that I would mortgage the house for that one .

That is a very gracious 2 handed out by PSA there. Perhaps it didn't get a 1 because it's a Plank.

Any other card that would NEVER get a 2.

[Topps206]

It might go for less because of that, but I know if I had the cash I'd put the bid in.

Totally agree there.

I was kinda surprised to see one of the 1915 Matty Cracker Jacks currently at auction with PWCC get a "2MK." Yes, it does it have an "MK" designation, but in addition to the writing on the card, there is a huge crase that runs the entire width of the card. I think a "2" was pretty generous on this Matty.

What was the intention of the OP mentioning this card? Thought it was against rules talking about a card that is in a current auction.

If there is a rule, I'm not aware. It was merely to point out the availability of a rare and valuable card.

in a gentleman's agreement way, YES...it's basically to keep sh!t that MAY fly under the radar unseen, but...I'm guessing a T206 Plank on ebay - where there's bajillions of peeps w/T206 searches - it ain't exactly a secret...

while "outing" an auction is frowned upon, there's NO absolute rule that I'm aware of on Net54...unwritten rule ??? perhaps, but while discouraged/considered taboo, there's nothing concrete that I know of - and YES, while I've personally been scolded/motherf**ked in the past for such a transgression, I've voluntarily elected to avoid any backlash/bullsh!t and NOT post such things, yet NOT because it was expressly forbidden...

p.s. - it's a freakin' T206 Plank - those lookin' are unlikely to miss/overlook a T206 Plank...

I wondered about this but wanted to wait until the aucion was over until I asked a question. Did anyone see this LaJoie and wander how a card with staple holes could not be graded a 1?

I guess I need to save up for many years and then cash in when the time is right.

If I'm remembering correctly, that's how Goudey mailed out the Lajoie cards to collectors that requested them by mail in 1934 and later (stapled to the letter), so all that were sent that way supposedly have the staple holes. I would not agree that makes them anything more than PSA 1's at most either, but I'm sure that if a justification for a higher grade was ever needed, that's probably what it was.

the story I've always heard was mailing goudey was the only way to acquire this card...it seems that there are many high grade lajoies. I have never heard that these cards were stapled?

I have see far more goudey LaJoies with no staple holes than ones with them, fwiw.

Nope, that's incorrect. What you are thinking of is the belief that many of the Lajoie cards were sent to collectors paperclipped to a letter, so many of the '33 Goudey Lajoie cards will exhibit a paperclip indentation.

Lots of inexpensive psa 7 cards T 206 in PWCC auction

[Yoda]

I would walk the Plank for one of Gettysburg Eddie's cards.

[Paul S]

To echo a few posts from above (^)...No, Not Yours!: Yes, outing ebay listings was upon, and then naturally subsided. However, several years back there was a newer-ish member who posted a card on our BST with a low price...IIRC, a T206 Piedmont common with a Factory 42 back. Some board members went public on that thread and let the seller know of his monetary mistake. Some other members got angry, also public, that they weren't getting a steal.

35k seems about right....nice card

wouldn't exactly call this card "fugly" - I'm not a high-end card guy w/deep pockets, but IF I was, I'd be happy to add this example to my collection rather than one with heavy creasing, etc.
