Johnny and Pete - since this is a pos, please post a scan of a graded 150-series Plank that you like better (one that doesn't have controversy over whether or not it was trimmed).

Well maybe I was a little harsh, definately not an easy card to find in any condition or back.

First one posted has been restored & currently owned by a board member.

"This card has undergone a very sophisticated restoration process in which paper fibers have been added to the corners and blue inpainting has been painstakingly and most professionally applied..."

Second one posted has had a chemical bath since then but still graded by PSA so you never know with even the graded examples. Wonka pointed this one out. Link




Third one costs 300% more then what we are suggesting the ebay one is worth.

the sgc30 at 32 000 $ .. i love it... and i understand your opinion...

29 000 for authentic card
32 000 for sgc30

the choice is not hard to make....

but the sgc sale is in 2010... how much is the value of this sgc30 in the 2012 market ?

Good stuff, Chris. I kind of cheated - when I was doing Plank research for my website, a board member informed me that there aren't any known numeric-graded Planks with 150 series backs. I did not know this, but knowing it now, I have nothing against the card in question. It's a beauty, and if you want one, it will have to be hand-cut (from what I'm told).

If I'm wrong about this, someone please correct me.

It's okay. My point is that there might not be any numeric-graded 150's, making the altered 150 in question desirable (if you want a nice-looking 150).

Out of the three you showed, the first one is a 150, but 'authentic', the second and third are both 350 series. No graded (numeric) 150's.

I didn't even think of that, great point . As far as 2012 value on a 2 or 3, better get 45k set aside and be ready and hope a couple are listed at the same time . When I get my 2 or 3 I guess it will probably be a 350 series.

I take back everything I said, nice links! Didn't think about the "150" back..

I would just personally love a roughed up plank than an altered one, but that's just my opinion. It's kind of tough spending that much money on a card that has been altered..

X 2

i have the same opinion of you. if i have the choice about an alterate psa plank or for a little bit more money for a psa 1 card, i choose the psa 1.

can you give to me info about the back of the card, you speak about 150, 350... etc... ? any difference in the value of the card ?

There are some 150's in numerical holders.

I have provided this info before about 150 T206's, whether it be Plank or any other will always be much bolder in color and sharper. All of the 350 Planks are a washed out Blue, often a bit out of register. You can see this much more clearly side by side. Many times 350's look nice in an auction catalogue but are really not as nice as any 150.
