Description
1909-11 T206 Piedmont 150 Sherry Magee ("Magie" Error) SGC Good+ 2.5 - The Hobby's Most Famous Typo! Severely abridged print runs can be caused by force, like Honus Wagner personally putting a stop to his own appearance in the T206 set, or a simple mistake. For one of the most famous error cards in the hobby, one can almost hear the frustrated pressman screaming, "He spells it how?," and the ear-bending screech as the massive multi-color press came to a halt. Sherry Magee was a solid player for the Phillies who amassed over 2,000 hits and almost 1,200 RBIs during his career, but the misspelling of his name has made him a "Hall of Famer" in the card collecting hobby. The error was caught and corrected early in the process, leaving even some of the most advanced collections of T206's short of this coveted mishap. This is the kind of card you want in your collection regardless of the condition.Graded SGC Good+ 2.5. The SGC assessment of our "Piedmont- 150 Subjects" advertising back (which they all should be) is based on moderate edge and corner wear. However, both the portrait and the famous typo are free from any major defects or blemishes. The ideal card without major flaws. Offered is the opportunity to elevate your T206 collection to a level only a small percentage of hobbyists get to experience.
Guide Value or Estimate: $20,000 - up.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
