Four Base Hits Clarkson New to the Hobby
I had the pleasure of having the original finders of this newly discovered card come up to my table at this past Philly Show. I believe they found it in a book, maybe even a Bible if I recall.
I know another copy sold a few years ago so it isn't a one of one but what a neat rescue from an old book! It just goes to show you that there are still treasures out there to be discovered. It is an amazing card and all I can say is thank goodness I do not collect 19th century stuff  I also had the pleasure of having John Mcdaniel (Wonka) sitting with me at the time the card came to the table, thanks for hanging out John! http://hugginsandscott.com/cgi-bin/s...l?itemid=83930 Last edited by danmckee; 03-18-2015 at 02:36 PM.

Yea I think they paid $5 for the Bible but luckily I had an honest person at my table when they approached...... Wonka!
They had already confronted the Auction House and they sent them over to get an estimate on final value, needless to say I have a feeling they will be pleasantly surprised at final hammer! Last edited by danmckee; 03-18-2015 at 02:48 PM.

Neat card, and don't you start calling me honest Dan I don't need that baggage over my head that puts me at a disadvantage in this hobby.
Being direct I think the sellers will be more disappointed than surprised at the hammer. There were some big numbers being tossed around of 100-150k+ land by some key folks connected to the buyers....and I know they were privately offered a number they may regret not taking come hammer down. I think hanging ones hat on a 6 year old Forbes article about the hobby's most expensive cards that doesn't even list the T206 Plank may be a recipe for disappointment. The last one was here... http://www.legendaryauctions.com/Lot...entoryid=30001 Regardless of speculation or the final hammer at $5 bucks nowhere to go but up for these lucky people, I wish them the best. It was good hanging with you too Dan, you think Scott has recovered from the abuse at the bar he had to take from us. Cheers, John Last edited by wonkaticket; 03-18-2015 at 03:41 PM.
