May or may have not been said but to be clear there are (2) other Piedmont 150 Planks.
Both came from the Halper Collection and both are handcut like the current one in REA. Glad to hear a fellow Board Member won! I hung in as long as I could... Here are the other Planks...

Also I'm not one for hobby legend, but I do find it interesting that there seem to be many more 350 subject Planks that come up vs. 150 subject Planks.
And the visual diff. between that of a 150 and 350 is night and day. 350's always look really bad compared to 150's a real printing change per say. Who knows maybe that is a clue to a printing issue of some sort.....

I thought the REA lot description for the Plank was a masterful display of tiptoeing around all of these issues.
I don't have it open in front of me, but it vaguely mentioned the early days of grading in which there wasn't as much focus on alterations and whether hand cut from a sheet was the same as trimmed. It also talked generically about printer's sheets. I thought they went gracefully and perfectly right up to the line of saying "Look. These were both cut from the same sheet and should both be graded Auth by current standards." without actually saying it. They just went on poetically about the days of yore in cards and grading and sheets and Wagners and Planks. Great job by someone writing that description. J

Truth is PSA has had two shots (at least) at the Gretzky Wagner. As Ted mentioned it is the first card they graded and has a serial number of 00000001. But it must have been resubmitted later for re-labeling, because it was tagged as "McNall/Gretzky".
I know that for a re-holdering/re-labeling PSA doesn't necessarily do a re-grading, but you would think, with the card in question, they might look at it again.

Quote:
Jim -- PSA has reholdered the Wagner a number of times. I know that there is a picture of Brian S. with the card reholdered with his name on the pedigree. I believe he ultimately said that it didn't look right that way and had it changed back to the Gretzky label. m

Piedmont Plank
Guys, please see my attached picture on page 3 regarding another Piedmont Plank that REA had in their 1997 auction. It has brilliant color, but is missing the right border. It is different than the Halper examples that have been discussed. It has the same type of "odd" cut on the bottom left border that just sold in REA's auction 2 days ago.
