I love the Plank card in any condition. Even though the Cobb's are my favorite, I think the Plank is definitely the coolest card after Wagner.

It is definitely more faded than the 150

Congrats Chris! A Nice Plank that you got for yourself!

Nowadays, smart phone can take better pics than scanner. I have stopped using my scanner and don't even want to talk about how much more convenience using a smart phone to take/send pics.

It's a good discussion - 150 vs 350.

Welcome aboard, Chris (chjh)

First of all, thanks very much for posting your thread..... "The Rise of T206". I read it over twice, as I found it exceptionally interesting.

While we're on the subject of T206 Plank's, Eddie Plank (and the Blue Hal Chase) are my favorite's of my T206 set(s). I especially favor
the Blue background cards.

Furthermore, I've never been "excited" over the Wagner card. Plank was a "cool" Southpaw pitcher; and, was vehemently anti-tobacco.
Mr. Wagner was a a great Shortstop, but did smoke and chew tobacco. I don't buy his "story". He should have set an example.

I found a new print flaw recently and it's an "elite 11" timeframe print flaw.

It's a white spot on Konetchy's sleeve on his forearm

here are the numbers and backs that I found it on

it's only the 2nd out of many (100+) print flaws that I've found on both a 150 and 350 series back the other was Tom Jones an elite 11 subject and that flaw was also only found on PD150, EPDG, and PD350.

I'd like to do a hi-res group scan of the PD150 and 350 flaws next to a couple of PD350's without the flaw to see if Steve is right about the possibility that some of the 350 backs were printed on leftover 150 fronts, I think this flaw would give us a pretty definitive answer.
If anyone has a konetchy with this flaw that they would sell I would like to buy it for the research.

The light blue areas in the grass on the right side also seem consistent.

mrvster · #10 05-12-2022, 09:16 PM

you are another expert that has contributed so so much over the years....

Thanks!

I'm not quick with looking up tons of cards, Pat is way faster.
Sometimes it's like I point out a new rabbit hole and he's standing right there with the miners headlamp and caving gear ready to go.

It works well, and I've thought pretty much all along that it's going to take a bunch of people to figure stuff out.
