As far as value, which scrap do you think brought the highest bidding price in any auction?

If you want an actual sale price, the White Plank sold for $92,000 in a 2013 Goodwin auction.

But much of the value of that card was the Plank, not the fact that it was scrap. If you go strictly by the value of the scrap, I think Leon's is the most valuable, though exactly what it's worth won't be known until he sells it.

I agree with Sean, the most value added simply from the scrap aspect of a card is Leon's Mullaney. Overall the most valuable scrap, all things considered, is probably the Wagner scrap (Wagner #19: http://t206resource.com/Wagner-Gallery.html).

Hey John, how have you been? I just picked up the book Crazy '08 because you recommended it.

Hey Sean!

I've been absent for a while (first out of the country for a month... then taking care of my 4-year old solo for a couple of months), but it's good to be back on the board!... BASEBALL SEASON!

Let me know what you think of the book! I got the rec from someone else here on the board (I forgot who) and passed it along. I'm reading Unforgettable Season... AGAIN! A million thanks!
Cheers!

Is this a scrap or is this just a misprint?



I'd define scraps as cards that were never put in packs and must have come directly from the factory.

that looks like a wet sheet transfer when the sheets were stacked following printing...not a scrap.

As well it was the much tougher Piedmont 150 (5 known, 4 are handcut). I am not sure any other scrap would go higher, unless you count the Wagner proof strip.

Here is an Obak:

[frankbmd]

Scrap - something an ordinary printer, packager, housekeeper, dealer, smoker, recycler or collector would throw away, shred, burn or otherwise destroy.

Carry on.

A more accurate definition, one would be hard pressed to find.
