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 highly anticipated event has caught the attention of collectors worldwide, thanks to the inclusion of two of the most coveted cards from the T206 set, known as the Big Four.
One of the standout items in this auction is an SGC 1 graded T206 Eddie Plank card, a true gem in the baseball card collecting community. With only 39 cards receiving a grade from SGC, and an additional 21 graded by PSA, the rarity of the Plank card cannot be overstated. Despite showing signs of age and wear, including paper loss, creasing, and corner and edge damage, its value remains undisputed. This auction marks the fourth time this year that a Plank card has been made available for purchase, with previous sales reaching impressive amounts. Last February, an SGC 1 Plank card was sold for $75,000, while in August, a PSA 2.5 variant commanded an astounding $168,000.
Joining the Plank card is the equally prestigious PSA 2 graded Sherry “Magie” error card. This card is part of the T206 set and features a misspelling of Sherry Magee’s last name. It proudly sits among other renowned rarities in the collection, such as the T206 Honus Wagner card and the “NY Nat’l” Joe Doyle card.
While the T206 cards are undoubtedly the jewels in the crown, the PWCC December Premier Auction has much more to offer. The collection also includes an impressive array of Michael Jordan cards, serving as a testament to the enduring legacy and popularity of the basketball legend. Some of the highlights from the Jordan collection up for auction include the 1997 Metal Universe Championship Precious Metals card graded BGS 9, the 1998 Skybox Premium Star Rookies card graded PSA 8, and the 1997 Skybox E-X 2001 Essential Credentials Future card graded PSA 9. Furthermore, collectors will have the chance to bid on the 1984-85 Star Company XRC card, available in both PSA 8 and BGS 9 grades.
And it’s not just basketball that takes the spotlight in this auction. Modern hockey treasures are also up for grabs, including the highly sought-after 2015-16 Upper Deck The Cup Gold Foil Connor McDavid RPA, numbered out of only 12, and the 2005 Upper Deck The Cup Sidney Crosby RPA, numbered out of 99 and graded BGS 8.
With the auction already underway, collectors and enthusiasts have until December 21st to place their bids. This presents a rare and exclusive opportunity to own a piece of sports history, whether it’s a coveted T206 baseball card or a prized Michael Jordan or hockey collectible. Don’t miss out on this chance to own a truly remarkable piece of memorabilia.
