Memory Lane Plank

Scott,

Kind of hard to show without comparisons of each card, but in the old days when dealers had multiple cards of each player in an album, you could pick the 150's out very easily, always deeper color and a sharper look. I once won a bet with a dealer that I could differentiate the two series from the front only and after only 2 pages in the binder he conceded. And, it's a abit hard to do on the internet unless the cards all in one scan, where each one is displayed next to one another and not random scans from multiple sources.

As to the Coupon cards, I would say most of those do not have the sharpness of the 150 series T206's and we do see that by 1919 type 3 Coupon they were very washed out looking.

I have to admit a bit of shock at the ML plank price. My pockets are not deep enough to make a play for that kind of whale, but that one seems like a real buy.

I think it had a lot to do with when the auction ended. I've never seen an auction with an initial bidding deadline of Saturday at 7:00 PM. A Saturday right before Christmas none-the-less. I picked up a couple nice cards that auction for prices 20-30% what they have sold for previously. If I were the consigner, I'd be pissed.

I'm thinking you have a really good eye

, but you must be correct about this.

I also get what you're saying about showing 2 cards from the same source.
