Nope, I can't help you there.

The lots were very poorly listed and photo'd. Most lots don't even have a detailed description of what cards it contained. As to the memorabilia, well that's another story....generally steer clear.

I, personally, would pay a small premium for provenance, but that’s me. I think most people don’t care.

I purchased this a while back and thought it as a nice touch that it belonged to Halper. As far as I know it is a one of a kind piece. It does have the Halper sticker still attached to the back

From what I understand so many of his memorabilia pieces had questionable authenticity so I'm not sure that provenance proves anything. I don't know. It's hard to trust anything.

[ruth-gehrig]

Perhaps I am mistaken but I believe the authenticity questions arise from so called game used jerseys and memorabilia Halper claimed to have gotten from players or their family. I don't remember hearing anything specific about general "memorabilia" that wasnt somehow attached to a player.

+1,000

They sold two T206 Planks in one lot, the all white Plank and the light blue in my avatar (I can't scan right now). They were both ungraded, and they described them as a white Plank which was missing color, and a regular Plank with the usual blue background. At least PSA caught the missing color on the light blue when they later graded it.
