Got a cite for that?

Yup, heard (read) it on these very forums. Search for it if you'd like to find it, but it's here somewhere...

Nice attitude, especially since 4 minutes prior I already told him where I read it...

Well, I don't recall anyone on this site saying that and I imagine trying to find that in the archives won't be easy. I'll take your word that you heard it here, but right now I'll call BS on the story. I doubt there was a single ballplayer illiterate or not that did not know how to at the very least correctly spell his own name. Joe Jackson was illiterate, but contrary to popular belief he could write his name.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. NO WHERE do I state that the story is factual. I just said I heard an interesting story, and it WAS on these forums. I honestly know NOTHING about the state of literacy at the time, so I cant speak to that point. When I'm not on my iPhone I'll try searching for it. Know any search function tricks?

Default Typical Flipper ... Luv's theories __ runs from facts .....
Asked to back up his BS, and he produces a nebulous nada, and prays that you take it as a fact.

Will someone please break it gently to JP that Christy Matthewson was not the only ball player from that period to go to college.

Lad, you couldn't cut it where I come from.

Kudos to Dan B, for using "cite" and "site" in back to back posts and getting them correct! You rarely see that on the internet!

Now who's making fun of the Cornhuskers?!!!!

Dan's posts are a sight for sore eyes...not to be confused with an ophthalmologist's page which is a site for sore eyes.

Potomac, try not to be jerk. I already told you that it was mentioned in these forums, and I'm not educated enough on the subject to give my own opinion. Look for the post yourself and then you can berate whoever the author was...

Default Is it truly rare ?
Given the number of these 2 items in the REA auction -how relatively rare are they?

I pulled out from submitting a Cobb T206 Green because I learned there were already a couple of them in the auction. Seemed to be too many to get a great price.

I have a 1925 Ruth Postcard PSA 5 - Maybe the single highest grade of this item ever (or second highest). It is more "rare" than these Plank T206's. But the market price will only fetch , maybe $3k. - for a 1920's Ruth card for crying out loud.

And how much for a not-one-of-a-kind Plank?!?!?!?!?!?!

Jeesh, go figure. Only thing I can come up with is this hobby is driven primarily by Demand, demand, demand. Not supply.
