Reasons to agree with DAN McKEE....regarding the PIEDMONT Plank

[CMIZ5290]

So much for all the speculations and concerns about cards being handcut or trimmed.....it looks like they are off and running in good fashion.

Less than 3 hours after opening the Wags is at about 750k after juice and the Plank is at about 125k after juice. Nice start with 3 weeks to go......

We are entering a new day here with this Plank scenario. I can foresee the possibility of a new "MILLION DOLLAR T206"......by the
time all is said and done with this PIEDMONT Plank.

After all....it has all the attributes of the Gretzky Wagner......

Due to their anti-tobacco reasons, these Pennsylvanians....Wagner, Plank (and/or Connie Mack) forced ATC to remove their image
from the T206 set.

The highest numeric graded PIEDMONT cards of Wagner and Plank are "questionable".


WHATEVER, unlike the PSA 8 Wagner, though, this Plank has no provenance (at least, not yet).

Ted, there is a HUGE difference between the two cards. The Plank appears to SGC, to be factory-cut. The Wagner provenance you mention indicates that it was hand-cut. All of the PSA 8 Wagner owners have had to pretend like the emperor was wearing a new suit. The new Plank owners will simply have to believe what appears to be honest grading (at least to me).

I wonder whether or not all of this discussion helps or hurts the final price actualized on these cards. No press is bad press.

I'm guessing this discussion will have zero impact on the final hammer price of these cards.
