In the world of sports memorabilia, few items can stir up as much excitement as rare baseball cards. And the PWCC December Premier Auction is no exception. This highly anticipated event features two of the most coveted cards from the T206 set, known as the Big Four, causing a frenzy among collectors worldwide.
One standout 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, this particular Plank card holds immense value and rarity. Despite showing signs of age and wear, including paper loss, creasing, and corner and edge damage, its presence at the auction is an event worth noting. This marks the fourth time this year a Plank card has been made available for purchase. Previous sales include an SGC 1 Plank card that fetched $75,000 in February and a PSA 2.5 variant that commanded $168,000 in August.
Accompanying the Plank card is the PSA 2 graded Sherry "Magie" error card. This is another prestigious item from the T206 set, featuring a misspelling of Sherry Magee's last name. This iconic card shares the limelight with the T206 Honus Wagner and "NY Nat'l" Joe Doyle cards as one of the most renowned rarities in any collection.
While the T206 Plank and Magie cards steal the show, the auction also boasts an impressive range of Michael Jordan cards, showcasing the enduring legacy and popularity of the basketball legend. Highlights of the Jordan collection include the 1997 Metal Universe Championship Precious Metals card graded BGS 9, with only 50 in existence. The 1998 Skybox Premium Star Rookies card, graded PSA 8, offers collectors the chance to own a piece of Jordan's early career. The 1997 Skybox E-X 2001 Essential Credentials Future card, graded PSA 9 and limited to just 72 copies, adds an element of exclusivity to this remarkable collection. Not to be forgotten are the 1984-85 Star Company XRC cards, available in both PSA 8 and BGS 9 grades, showcasing Jordan's rookie card in pristine condition.
Alongside the incredible Jordan collection, the auction also features modern hockey treasures. Enthusiasts can bid on the 2015-16 Upper Deck The Cup Gold Foil Connor McDavid RPA, numbered out of just 12 cards, ensuring its status as a highly sought-after item. Another valuable addition is the 2005 Upper Deck The Cup Sidney Crosby RPA, graded BGS 8 and numbered out of 99.
The auction, which is currently underway, will continue accepting bids until December 21st. This presents collectors with a rare opportunity to own a piece of sports history and add significant items to their cherished collections. Whether it's the historic T206 cards, the legendary Michael Jordan collection, or the modern hockey treasures, the PWCC December Premier Auction is an event that promises excitement and fierce bidding as enthusiasts vie for these prized possessions. So, collectors, don't miss your chance to attain these remarkable pieces of sports memorabilia.
