Lot # 106: 1908 PC760 Rose Company Postcard Eddie Plank SGC VG 3 - 1 of 1 - Highest Graded!

Graded VG 3 by SGC. This is the ONLY example graded at this level with none higher! Very attractive example of Hall of Fame pitcher Eddie Plank (Philadelphia Athletics) from the PC760 Rose Postcard set, one of the rarest and most beautifully designed baseball-card sets ever produced. This extremely rare card is exceptional and noteworthy on many counts, including the fact that the portrait used is the very same as that which appears on the famous T206 Plank. This is obviously an iconic and very popular pose! The card is bright and clean, both front and back, with a flawless portrait image, even corner wear, a couple minor creases, and evidence of corner mounts (more noticeable from the reverse). The card has never been mailed and has no writing on the reverse. This is one of only four examples of Plank ever graded by SGC (no PSA examples), and just the second we have ever handled. This is a very attractive example of one of the key Hall of Famers from this beautiful and rare set and one that would make an outstanding addition to a PC760 set, Hall of Fame type-card collection, or Plank player collection.
