1986 Fleer Jordan vs T206 Plank

[pokerplyr80]

As this is prewar forum the results are not surprising. I am one of the few that would take the Jordan. Current prices are way off the peak value, and will go back up. I don't know much about the modern basketball market, but it's world wide and much bigger than prewar baseball. I would be willing to bet anyone that a psa 10 jordan hits 500k again at auction before a psa 3 plank.

If I were guaranteed prices between the two would always be about the same I'd probably take the Jordan and pass it down to my son Jordan.

Two very overrated cards in my opinion.

For me it’s the Jordan.

As a kid in the 80’s and 90’s I remember hearing about the exploding value of that card. And as we all watched Jordan’s incredible career play out, that just increased the mystique of that card. To me, the Jordan is desirable, and it is a card I would love to have in my collection to look at, show off, and enjoy.

I collect prewar baseball cards, but don’t really collect t206 (I have a handful).

The only reason I know about the Plank and it’s value is because of knowledgeable collectors like you guys. But I have no ‘connection’ to it or a true desire for it. The value of the Plank to me would be purely monetary, but owning a Jordan would actually “mean” something to me if that makes sense.

Good poll and good discussion!

I collect modern and pre war and I love both cards. For me it comes down to this: I can take the Plank and be happy with a clean, centered PSA 9 Jordan (or even a Beckett 9.5) I can pic up later at a fraction of the cost.

let's step back..... U can get a beat up Jordan RC for less than $1k and u probably won't enjoy that Jordan as much as a beat up Plank which would cost min of $10k. You would be glad of owning a Plank in any condition. (I understand it is a budget issue....)

Jordan but close. Goat versus eh. Not fully into t206 like others but no get it.

I wonder which one 20 years from now would sell for more?
