T206 Sherry Magie - Error  Starting Bid - $500, Sold For -
$4,406  Encapsulated as "Authentic" by PSA. This example of T206
Magie, card collecting's most famous error card, has not been
assigned a numerical grade by PSA due to the image background
having been altered (the card has the appearance of an erasure
mark in the background to the left of Magie's portrait); the
card otherwise has a Fair appearance. One constant in card
collecting is the fact that great rarities have a great appeal
to collectors in all grades. Magie is one of the rarest cards in
the T206 set, and along with Plank, Wagner, and of course the
rare Doyle, is usually one of the last cards required by
collectors to complete the T206 set. The Magie error card has
been always recognized as one of card collecting's great
rarities, since the days of Jefferson Burdick. (In fact, Burdick
singled out the Magie as one of the significant T206 rarities in
the original American Card Catalog
