1986 Fleer Jordan vs T206 Plank

[parkplace33]

The Jordan and its not close for me.

While I do understand the rarity of the Plank, I would rather have a psa 10 of the most iconic card in the last 40 years.

Could not care less about Jordan. If you gave it to me, gratis, I would sell it, and use the money to buy the Plank or something like a complete set of 1954 Topps, and remodel my kitchen, with money in the bank.

Would take the Plank & pocket the $18,000 so I could buy more cards

Third year Jordan card is SO overrated. The 101 should have been accepted as his RC all along. XRC indeed. Joe Orlando refusing to grade them indeed.

I like rare cards and I like baseball cards so the decision is easy. Post this on a basketball forum and you'll get the opposite results.

+1 Agree.
but to me the rarity of the plank over the quantity of the Jordan 10 and Vintage over Modern and Baseball over Basketball

Plank. There are so many Jordan’s compared to it.

including an eye toward the future maintenance of value. I voted for the 52 Mantle over the Wagner. Here I am taking the Plank - there are currently 319 PSA 10 Jordan's with the possibility of new ones still out there. While I do think the 86 Fleer card will remain a greater iconic Jordan card than the 84 Star (Similar to 52 Topps Mantle Vs. 51 Bowman Rookie), with a population that large there is a lot greater possibility that this card swings wildly - are there 319 people willing to pay $160K+ for a PSA 10 Jordan? How about in 10 years? 79 PSA Plank's + another 10 SGC. A lot safer card imho. An interesting experiment would be to run a similar poll with a younger generation of collectors - I suspect it would turn out vastly different.

Of course Plank, but would have loved to find the Jordan in a pack and sell it. Lol

I went with Plank, because Eddie had a lifetime batting average of .206 in 17 years in the major leagues, while Michael had a .202 batting average in his one season in AA ball.

Although I hear Eddie's 3 point game was pretty lame.

Plank for me, without hesitation.
I have a lowly PSA 7 Jordan in my collection already, and that's easily good enough for me. A Plank in any condition would be more difficult for me to afford.

Haha!

I'd definitely rather have the Plank.
While I completely understand the hype of Jordan, I'd personally never choose a card printed when I was in 6th grade over a 110+ year old somewhat rarity.
On top of that, while I love high grade cards I do not personally buy or collect PSA 10's as I feel that the prices most bring are absurd. The few vintage PSA 10's I've been lucky to land on submissions were sold as fast as I could get them back and replaced with 8's or 9's.

Now if it was a PSA 10 Star #101 I change my vote to the Jordan card.
