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 auction features two of the most coveted cards from the T206 set, known as the Big Four, which are capturing the attention of collectors worldwide.
A standout item in this auction is the SGC 1 graded T206 Eddie Plank card. Only 39 Plank 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 a noteworthy event, as it marks the fourth time this year that a Plank card has been available for purchase. Previous sales of Plank cards included an SGC 1 variant that fetched $75,000 in February and a PSA 2.5 variant that commanded an impressive $168,000 in August.
Joining the Plank card in this auction is the 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 sits alongside the T206 Honus Wagner and “NY Nat’l” Joe Doyle cards as one of the most renowned rarities in the collection. The rarity and historical significance of the Magie error card make it a highly sought-after item among collectors.
Beyond these historic baseball cards, the auction also features an impressive array of Michael Jordan cards, paying tribute to the enduring legacy and popularity of the basketball legend. Among the highlights of the Jordan collection are 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. These cards provide an opportunity for fans and collectors to own a piece of basketball history.
In addition to the baseball and basketball cards, the auction also includes modern hockey treasures. Among them are 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. These cards showcase the talent and success of two of the most celebrated hockey players of their generation.
