Speaking for Rob - I believe his point was that there are approximately 60 copies in existence of the T206s and perhaps 150-200 Lajoie's, so while at one point they were thought to be of relatively similar rarity, they are not.

Ok i understand. But for a guy who have money avalaible it is pretty easy to have a Plank or a Wagner too.... same thing than lajoie.

You think that T206 Planks and Wagners are more available than Goudey Lajoies? KO.

Sorry, I meant "OK."

I don t said that sorry for my english.

i ll try to explain my idea :

if a guy have money avalaible for buy major big card, i agree with you with the fact it is easy to find a Lajoie goudey 33 card, but i also said if money isn t a factor, there are always Plank avalaible too for sale, when i had the money avalaible last month i had no trouble to find a plank, and i had the choice between 2 plank t206....

for the wagner it is more hard to find but if you have the money i don t think it is a problem to find one...

last month
3 wagner was for sale and 7 eddie plank....... i really love these card but when you have the pocket full of money, it is rellatively easy to find.

But i agree with the fact that plank and wagner are rarer than the lajoie . But not verry hard to find when you have money.

[Rob D.]

Just kidding with you.

Simply put, I think the scarcity of the Lajoie pales in comparison with the Wagner and Plank, which is worth mentioning only because for years those three cards were grouped together as sort of holy grails within the hobby.

I understand. At one time, the lajoie was considered in the second rank of this big 3 set :

in 1997 read the first couple sentence :

Another thing to consider: We're in the middle of "auction season," during which many of the auction houses annually hold some of the major sales of the year. So to draw conclusions on the availability of Wagners and Planks based on what has been sold the past month isn't really accurate.

It's kind of like searching a few months for a specific T206 front-back combo, not finding one and making a declaration based on very limited data. It's done all the time, but it's a dangerous practice if you're concerned about accuracy.

[g_vezina_c55]

Ok, in the past years during the auction season like you said, the auction house had many Plank & wagner like this or this year it is special ?

i didn t follow the auction of all these auction house in the past.

i agree with Rob D...sales of vintage goes in cycles...one day there will be 20-30 T208 Firesides for sale...then you won't see any for a few years...same with many rare cards. Planks and Wagners typically come out for REA pretty regularly but I'd say the scenario lately is somewhat of an anomaly with all of the planks out there. With spikes in values...cards come out of the closet... There have been many wagners for sale lately...which is kind of unusual also!
