There is a poll on the SGC website asking what the hobby's "marquee" card is besides the T206 Wagner. The overwhelming choice was the 1952 Topps Mantle, with 63.8% of the vote. The BN Ruth and the T210 Jackson didn't even come close with 10% of the vote, the M101-5 Ruth got only 6%, and the 34 Lajoie got only 5%.
Like it or not, its pretty clear that the 1952 Topps Mantle is the Vice-President of the baseball card top-dogs. It definitely doesn't seem that Plank had quite the top tier status as Wagner to generate the same amount of buzz, nor is the dropped printer plate story quite as interesting as the Wagner T206 story. But the Plank definitely would be worth more if the Wagner was common place. |
