Looking for honest opinions on Legendary's T-206 Eddie Plank

[Exhibitman]

Congrats, it is a very nice looking card and seems to have sold low. Whether that is overall economy, Legendary's rep, or something else I don't know, but I did think when I was going through the catalog that it was a really nice looking card. FWIW, I'd just leave it alone and enjoy it. I do have a very nice mint Cobb that I'd trade for it--of course, it is a 1976 Topps All Time All Star. Any interest?

maybe you can trade JP for his talking mouse he keeps referring to ;o)

I think that's about the right price for that card, given the market for "Authentic" Planks -- and represents nearly a $3,000 increase since what is probably the same card sold in Mastro's April 2007 auction, click this link:

Coincidentally, in the same April 2007 auction I purchased Lionel Carter's beater Plank, for just a hair over the price of your restored Plank. So, I think that Plank collectors are just about evenly split on whether they'd rather have a beauty restored or a beater original.

If you tried to restore it you would have to remove at least some of the blue from the background, which would put you into SGC 30 value at best. And there is a meaningful probability of an SGC 10 or 20. As a result, I would recommend just leaving it alone and consider it in value as about what the market would value an SGC 10.

Most of all -- enjoy the card!!

Deal.

EDIT: No deal!

JP,

Edit and add a smiley face. Quick. You should never joke with an attorney while witnesses are present. The way I see it, you just made an agreement to trade with Adam.

"Deal" was in response to the question "Any interest?" That basically meant that while I don't have a "great deal" of interest, I do still have a "deal" of interest.

Nice pickup JP,

If the card was not in a legendary auction I think it would have received much more interest (and higher pricing).

Scott, weird that I was talking to you the other day about someday reacquiring a Plank...never expected it to be this one. While it isn't the grade I wanted, it looks better than any one I could ever afford...
