Speaking about the T206 Plank.....

[tedzan]

All this conversation recently regarding the T206 Plank card makes me wonder if it is time to sell mine

It definitely is a nicer looking image than many of them out there. It is graded an "A", because all four corners were restored.
That's no problem for me. What really matters is this Plank completes my all SWEET CAPORAL Factory #30 set (468 cards).






Using a magnifier on this Plank card, I noticed an interesting pattern in it's blue ink background. The entire background
consists of a very fine diagonal grid formation. Due to the plastic, my scanner doesn't clearly reveal this pattern on the
Plank card.
So, for an example of this pattern, I scanned an ungraded Jordan card having this identical pattern. Look closely, you'll
see what I'm describing. In my PIEDMONT, SOVEREIGN, and SWEET CAP sets, this pattern on blue background cards in
the 150/350 Series is not consistent. Some have it, and others do not.

I hope our resident printing expert chimes in here and explains to us why there is such a difference in these "blue back-
ground cards".

Hi Ryan

I really appreciate your advice.

I've started transferring some of my Sports cards collection to my Grandson, Ron. Gee, was he excited when I gave him my near-complete 1952 TOPPS master set
which is only missing approx. 30 of those silly Gray-backs in the #131 - 190 series.
Eventually, Ron will have it all (from the 1888 N162 set to all 3 of my T206 sets, to GOUDEY's, PLAY BALL's, LEAF's, BOWMAN's and TOPPS sets from 1952 - 1977).
Ron has become very knowledgeable regarding the T206 set. I would need Ron's approval before I sold this Eddie Plank card.

Great to hear from you. It's been quite a while since we got together at the Jersey shore (Point Pleasant).

Let's try to meet up this season, at our favorite restaurant, and we could spend hours "TALKIN' T206's"


I appreciate your advice regarding my Eddie Plank card.

Take care, my good friend.
