T206 Plank on PSA's website

TJ;

I understand all to well sales. I also understand hype. But lets face it when you made the post “Complete T206 Set Found” no set was found it was purchased from a long time collector. It wasn’t found in an attic or shoebox. This was a purchase you made or tried to make for many years, which finally came to fruition.

I have a decent collection will PSA slab my T206’s from the Wonkaticket collection. Many people had a very good point (which you have missed). When you label something the Mr. X collection your giving provenance to something. But not knowing who Mr. X is destroys any meaning behind the provenance which you make reference too.

This is just another sad example of grading companies and dealers creating rarities. This stuff falls under the “one of only 13 examples with only 11 higher” crap. The sad part is these cards need no hype or added rarities shtick; it’s a T206 Plank and Magie enough said.

Tj, Lets not get out of hand comparing yourself to Donald Trump. Yes its true he uses the school of business if you don’t tell everyone your successful how will they know. But he also manages to declare bankruptcy every 2-3 years.

I wish you luck with your auctions; it just seems for a guy who just made a major business purchase, and who has run several 100 million dollar companies sales and marketing efforts. You would have better things to do than have pissing matches with the people on this board.
