150 Series are tough enough with the PSA pop report showing fourteen 350 Series cards and only three 150 Series, all Fact. 30. Oddly no Fact 25's are shown in the pop report. With a total of sixty-four Plank Sweet Caporal's graded forty-seven were graded prior to listing the series/factory, leaving the true factory rarities still to be determined. Researching the PSA Auction prices realized for the unlabeled Planks revealed eighteen of the unlabled forty-seven, all of which were either 350 series or 150 Fact. 30, with only one 150 Fact. 25, which might lead one to believe the Fact 25, is actually the scarcest of all possible backs on the T206 Plank(less the Piedmont). Reading old archives 10+ years old, many people were uncertain the Fact. 25 even existed.

Regardless, the 150's are still much rarer and more desirable.

If there was going to be a serious hit it would be now.

When a company releases bad news the stock gaps down. It is doesn't trade down it literally gaps lower. There are times mid session where stocks accelerate lower but that is just an intisifying of the carnage.

When there were cracks in the market in 2008 auction driven products had failed auctions because of lack of buyers and clearly as the news flow is horrible right now buyers weren't absent.

Right or wrong my view point on markets is driven from a purely economic mindset and I understand the emotional view but one must try and look at the bigger picture and this game is far from over.

You didn't answer any of my questions. And thinking that the baseball card market has the same speed of information that the stock market does, is foolhardy, IMO.
One of the guys I messaged with 13 trimmed cards outed on blowout responded back that he didn't know any of this was going on. That is where PSA and PWCC are failing. They claim to be proactive on informing customers and giving refunds, but it's all a joke. Subterfuge.

Peter, don't you dare suggest that; he might just do it and drop dead!

Dpeck100----keep killing it, my friend! Proud of ya.

Around here in northern Indiana, it's killer weather---triple digit heat index. I do most of my power-walking after midnight. Think Eric Clapton's classic!

We gotta train "uncomfortable" to feel comfortable the rest of the time.

Thank you!

I used to run in the crazy heat in Orlando 5.1 miles but just wasn't getting the results I wanted and my feet, ankles, and knees hurt all of the time. I did get heat stroke once and it was crazy seeing myself pee out brown urine in the shower. I don't think my body temperature got back to normal for close to two hours.

It wasn't long after that I switched to the stair master in the AC. No cardio delivers the results that it does. A 30 minute session on 85 steps a minute burns 407 calories and can get you ripped. I gave up on trying to be big and decided I wanted to look more like I did in my early 20's and it has been a great transition and I feel much better slimmed down.

The gym had a power outage a few weeks ago and I ran in the morning and was quickly reminded why I quit! Haha

Without taking the time to compare each card(several of the same ones are shown in different holders(crossovers mostly), there appear to be 12 or 13 150 Series on the page, only one of which is a Fact. 25, all the rest are Fact 30. One other front only shown, is a Fact 25. when comparing the PSA serial number to known 150's.

Just with this quick viewing of a large number of the known Plank's it is very safe to conclude that the Sweet Cap 350 is the most common, the Sweet Cap 150 Fact 30, the next most often found and the Sweet Cap 150 Fact 25, a very, very scarce combo and the rarest by far. Actually might challenge the Piedmont Planks as being the most difficult, but the Piedmont will be more popular due to the markedly different back and mystery of it's production.

So...if a PSA 3 150 Series Fact. 30 is now bringing $250k+, what might an even rarer Fact 25 bring if brought to market?
