In the world of sports memorabilia, few items stir as much excitement as rare baseball cards, and the PWCC December Premier Auction is no exception. This auction features two of the most coveted cards from the T206 set, known as the Big Four, attracting the attention of collectors worldwide.
One standout item in this auction is an SGC 1 graded T206 Eddie Plank card, which has received a grade from SGC. Only 39 cards have been graded by SGC, with an additional 21 graded by PSA. Despite showing signs of age and wear, including paper loss, creasing, and corner and edge damage, the value and rarity of the Plank card remain undisputed. The appearance of this card at auction is noteworthy, as it marks the fourth time this year that a Plank card has been available for purchase. Previous sales include an SGC 1 Plank card fetching $75,000 in February and a PSA 2.5 variant commanding $168,000 in August.
Accompanying the Plank card is the PSA 2 graded Sherry “Magie” error card, another prestigious item from the T206 set. This card features a misspelling of Sherry Magee’s last name and is considered one of the most renowned rarities in the collection, along with the T206 Honus Wagner and “NY Nat’l” Joe Doyle cards.
Aside from these historic baseball cards, the auction also offers an impressive array of Michael Jordan cards, a testament to the enduring legacy and popularity of the basketball legend. The Jordan collection includes several highlights, such as the 1997 Metal Universe Championship Precious Metals card graded BGS 9, the 1998 Skybox Premium Star Rookies card graded PSA 8, the 1997 Skybox E-X 2001 Essential Credentials Future card graded PSA 9, and the 1984-85 Star Company XRC cards in both PSA 8 and BGS 9 grades.
In addition to the basketball memorabilia, the PWCC auction features modern hockey treasures. One notable item is the 2015-16 Upper Deck The Cup Gold Foil Connor McDavid RPA, limited to only 12 copies and graded BGS 8. Another exciting piece is the 2005 Upper Deck The Cup Sidney Crosby RPA, limited to 99 copies and also graded BGS 8.
The auction, which is already underway, will continue to accept bids until December 21st. This provides collectors with a rare opportunity to own a piece of sports history, whether they are passionate about baseball, basketball, or hockey. The high demand for the T206 Plank and ‘Magie’ Error cards, along with the iconic Michael Jordan cards and coveted hockey memorabilia, guarantees an exhilarating bidding experience for sports enthusiasts and collectors alike.
