Hi Josh- I'm no expert, so please don't go off of my opinion, but if that's a fake, then the scammers are getting good !! It seems to have some of the things I look for in a real T206.....black line around frame, the type seems about right (from what I can see),,,,,but there are some things that appear to be odd- the card seems oddly faded? And the wear on the card is strange?
Anyhow, any idea of what might be on the back of the card (besides glue ![]() Sincerely, Clayton Edit to say.......something about the creases seem off........like the ink rubs off? Maybe it's my screen. Last edited by teetwoohsix; 11-24-2010 at 03:44 PM. |

clayton thanks for the response. Im not sure what is on the back but i plan on holding up up to the light to see if i can see what is on the back. From what i have read, the plank should have a SC back? If anyone else can shed light on this that would help.thanks

Can you get the card, but make its final sale subject to authentication by a TPG? If they won't let you do that, screw them... but if they will, maybe you've got a real find. Or do they not know exactly what the Plank card is in terms of value?

Does not look good to me.
His name and team should be in brown lettering at the bottom. Looks black in your scan. Last edited by Baseball Rarities; 11-24-2010 at 04:00 PM. |

I am inclined to say fake as well...borders seem too white as compared to the rest of the card...borders very irregular...color doesn't seem right...I'd bet the farm it's phony!

Also, the advice of having a TPG authenticate it was great advice. Clayton |

My first thought was no good due to the odd colors and slightly off type.....good luck with whatever you choose on it!

Fake
The caption (Amer.) should extend father to the right past the "A" on uniform. With creases like that there should be some chipping within the creases. The authentic T206 cards the top layer is a thin brittle paint like ink and will chip and flake rather than bend. also the overall color is washed out and the caption looks to be the wrong color, and the black border line is missing or erased in spots, especially lower right side. Its really not a good fake at all when you compare it to an autnetic Plank |

The lowest part of the uniform "A" is right above the right part of the 'M' in Amer in the real one. Moved over on the fake.
So now lets get the real story on how the seller conveniently has this in a lot of 40 and almost got a nice sale. Craigslist? |

Fake - the card stock is noticeably off as well.
