In the world of sports memorabilia, few items ignite as much excitement as rare and highly sought-after baseball cards. The upcoming PWCC December Premier Auction is no exception, featuring two of the most coveted cards from the T206 set, known as the Big Four. These cards have captured the attention of collectors worldwide, making this auction a significant event in the sports memorabilia community.
One standout item in this auction is the SGC 1 graded T206 Eddie Plank card. With only 39 cards receiving a grade from SGC and an additional 21 graded by PSA, the rarity and value of the Plank card are undisputed. Despite showing signs of age and wear, including paper loss, creasing, and corner and edge damage, this card remains highly sought after. Its appearance at auction is noteworthy, as it marks the fourth time this year a Plank card has been available for purchase. Previous sales of similar Plank cards include one that sold for $75,000 last February and another variant that commanded $168,000 in August, graded at PSA 2.5.
Joining 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, alongside the T206 Honus Wagner and “NY Nat’l” Joe Doyle cards.
While the T206 cards steal the spotlight, the auction also boasts an impressive array of Michael Jordan cards, a testament to the enduring legacy and popularity of the basketball legend. Collectors will find a variety of Jordan cards, including the 1997 Metal Universe Championship Precious Metals (#/50) graded BGS 9, the 1998 Skybox Premium Star Rookies (#/50) graded PSA 8, the 1997 Skybox E-X 2001 Essential Credentials Future (#/72) graded PSA 9, and the 1984-85 Star Company XRC in both PSA 8 and BGS 9 grades.
In addition to the basketball treasures, the auction also has its fair share of hockey memorabilia. Collectors can find highly sought-after cards such as the 2015-16 Upper Deck The Cup Gold Foil Connor McDavid RPA (#/12) and the 2005 Upper Deck The Cup Sidney Crosby RPA (#/99), both graded BGS 8.
The auction, which has already started, will continue accepting bids until December 21st. This offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a piece of sports history and acquire these highly coveted cards and other treasures. Whether it's the allure of vintage baseball or the timeless greatness of Michael Jordan and hockey stars like Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby, this auction has something to captivate and excite collectors from around the world. Don't miss your chance to bid on these incredible pieces of sports memorabilia.
