PWCC Plank currently on eBay PSA 2

[Topps206]

As valuable and prestigious as a 52 Mantle is, I've seen some in poor or even better shape go less than what Plank is going for right now.

Looks like a rubber band stain.

Im not suggesting the 52 Mantle is the second most expensive card in low grade. Clearly cards like the cobb back and t210 jackson sell for much more. But it is the second most important card in the hobby. By a long shot.

Good point:there is a difference between most valuable and most important.

I was curious so I asked Brent if Plank is 4 what are the top 3. He confirmed Wagner, 52 Mantle, 15 Ruth.

"15 Ruth". I suggested the 1914 Baltimore News Ruth, but he's saying the 1915 Ruth rookie card with Boston. Maybe he thinks the BN Ruth is too scarce 9 I think that there are only 10 of them known).

[pokerplyr80]

Yea my understanding is the 15 is considered his RC and the Baltimore News is more of an XRC. While obviously much less valuable his RC a more important card in the hobby.

It's too bad they didn't include Ruth in either cracker jack set. If they had gotten him in the 14 set in a Red Sox uniform that just might be #1.

[Sean]

And we say the same thing about Joe Jackson and the T206 set.

Maybe that could be the fantasy card for next year's National.

Thanks for clarifying. When I first saw that I was thinking within the T206 set:

Wagner
Doyle error
Cobb/Cobb
Plank

I would put the t206 Plank and 33 Goudey Lajoie ahead of the 52 Topps Mantle.

[Topps206]

Well the Goudey Lajoie and T206 Plank are certainly more scarce, but it seems the 52 Mantle is second only to Wagner as the most famous.
