t206 Plank auction

[g_vezina_c55]

The authentic Plank was sold for $25,726 with buyer fee include. Last year in may 2011 this card was sold for 22 700, so it is a good sale at 25 726.... 3000 inflation...

Wow
All the rea plank sold for ridiculous price

Last week 25700 for auth card and this week 25 for a graded 2...All the plank According to me was sold for bargain price

The Authentic example was a 150 back - you cannot compare that to a 350 back.

With any back, 25k for a graded 2 plank is a bargain

All Plank auction Close.

Price updated in the first post.

This sgc 30 was sold in 2007 at REA for 35K and now with the fee, arround 29K, it is bad for the owner of this Plank.

And this PSA6 MC was sold in 2007 for 102 000 $ and now sold for 94 800 $ again, it is bad for the owner.

Here's the 2007 REA SGC 30 for $35,250 (including BP) in 2007:

And then in 2012 REA for $25,000 (plus juice):

That means the seller in 2012 appears to have lost over $10,000 on this Plank -- WOW!

Pretty normal, though...the 2007 and 2008 REA auctions pretty much represent the very highest peak of the card market. Since the crash in the Fall of 2008, most prices have not fully rebounded to those earlier levels.

With limited exceptions (like rare backed T206s), buying cards at auction in 2007-2008 to sell up to today's date would have been a bad investment.

Good point. And after the lows of 2009-2011, I think some people felt 2012 might be a better time to sell (I agree that there have been increases in many prices since those lows).

I think now is a perfect time to buy a t206 Plank. Value should only rise from here for rarer t206 cards. That's just my two cents.
