How much will the Goodwin Plank go for?

[danmckee]

I have access to large raw scans before they were slabbed, the Wagner should be a 2 and the Plank and Magie are blatantly trimmed.

Welcome to 3rd party grading!

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

c'mon, Dan...this is nothing new...just higher profile...higher buck cards than most grading errors. And the people buying them most likely couldn't care less.

ok Peter, you win, you are right, I don't have a response for your statement, touche my friend!

Perhaps, but MUCH higher profile, don't you think? At some point if there is credible evidence that mistakes (or worse) have been made at this level of card, the hobby has to take notice.

"much" higher profile...like the Gretzky Wagner that started it all. it was corrupt from the start...why is anyone surprised that it continues.

God I would hope so Peter. That logic is what keeps me going. But when I see people spend $20K for a $50 1982 common card, I wonder if it will ever be fixed.

It is amazing how much fraud is in our hobby and all driven by greed.

I don't consider these recent abortions mistakes

dan I agree wholeheartedly...and sadly all of the corruption is souring me on this great hobby of ours.

So say these cards are proven trimmed some day, the whales turns their heads and leave, how would that affect the common t206 or other vinatge collector? The key there is "common". It doesnt seem these whales collect psa 2 CJs and thus dont really interact with me in any way. I can the affect on the ultra-high end of the spectrum. Just asking questions here.

And I have no idea how much this card goes for...

Will the fact that REA has 4 Plank cards, including one in ex-mt, in the upcoming auction influence the bidding in this one?
