I know that a lot of you crazy T206 freaks have all 4 Cobbs like me. It's time to whip them out.
Here are my flawed yet snazzy Cobbs. They are a nice, colorful bunch that didn't break the bank:

Only pre-war card I own is the W516-2-1 I bought raw in Cooperstown a couple years ago. I spent about $125 on it even though it's ripped up at the top. Luke Keeler was helpful enough to send it in to PSA for grading :D
The ticket I have pictured my dad got me when I was about 16. Ticket dates July 1, 1922. The White Sox won that game 7-3
Mr. Cobb went 1-4 with a walk and a strikeout against Red Faber. Also playing for the Sox were HOF'ers Harry Hooper, Ray Schalk Cocky Eddie Collins. A total of 5 HOF players took the field that day !!!!
Alas the White Whales Cobb T206 have eluded me and been too rich for my blood :(
Some day I will become triumphant and own at least one and then another day I'll own them all :D

Very cool Cobbs you guys, very awesome thread, should have threads like this for other baseball juggernauts.
This has to be the Cobb that was most loved ever by some little boy long ago. It must have gone everywhere with him. At least that is how I imagine it.
None of mine are all that pretty, but hey, Cobb was not a pretty player. He played rough, just like my cards! Some of my favorites.

Larry, I don't need to tell you but that is a very highly graded card for that pose.
Yes, but it is not as good as your Ex. Mine, although having square corners, has some relatively minor chipping around the edges. I would consider it a low "Ex" over all.
Thanks Jeff,
Larry

Dan, super nice cards. You might already know this, but that W512 Cobb is mis-labeled by PSA. It should be a 1925-31 W590 Cobb.

Thank You Gary. For the w590, I won it for what I consider to be a pretty good price thanks to the mislabeling. When I saw the auction title I couldn't help but laugh as the W512 looks nothing like the w590!

Found these in a house I recently purchased, I'm still trying to figure out the names of the different cards that were found.

Seriously? Where did you find them in the house? What other cards were with them?
There was a door in a closet in one of the upstairs bedrooms that opened into a storage area. It's kind of like an attic but not...lol
There were 27 w516 strip cards I believe 4 of them were boxers
86 t206 cards most of them had sweet caporal backs 2 had base ball gum John h. Dockman
1 American Carmel co
2 Piedmont backs
1 polar bear
3 different cards had gold borders
12 center pictures of I think they are Hassan triple fold, only 3 cards that I believe go to the triple fold cards but I haven't had time to go through center pictures
19 t227 cards all miners extra backs
43 t219 boxing pugilist cards 1 has Hassan back the rest are miners extra
39 miners extra heroes of history
3 miners extra men and women of history
45 miners extra men of history
104 American Carmel company e123 cards

Nice find. Sounds like the gold border cards are T205. The Dockman cards are candy cards classified E92. And I am guessing the American Caramel cards are probably E90-1. We of course would love to see some more pictures of the cards.

Congrats JC. I was wondering who won that PC. You got it for a steal. Sad that the “experts” couldn’t confirm that it’s Cobb when it’s plain as day to me. The undivided PC back makes it his earliest card, IMHO.
Let me know if you’d like a nicer scan (front and back). I have them saved on my Pc.

Mike, this is the 1908 version of the Cobb card. As you can see, there are a few versions of this card as well (based on the placement and font of the "Cobb").

What is the postmark on the Seamless Steel Tubes PC ? On the postcard it states that he is 21 years old, he would be 21 on Dec 18,1907. Thanks

October 1907. All known Seamless Cobb's that have been postmarked are from October 07 I believe. Seamless Steel Tube Co must have just decided he was close enough to 21 at time of production.

I picked this one up recently. 1908 Dietsche Cobb with "Cobb" name in shadow. I have never seen another like this. If you have one please post. Thanks
Mike - Here is a composite of the five different Cobb cards that I am aware of: 07 fielding, 07 batting, 08 name above shadow, 08 name in shadow, 08 no name.
Here's one for the Cobb collector who has everything.
It will be in my auction that starts next week, shameless plug :)

I know, I know. I actually have a nice scanner - it took me 3 years to buy one, another 6 months for my kid to install and hook it up, and it wil probably be another year before I start using it. I do not embrace technology at all.
Kevin, that fielding Cobb totally kicks ass. I hope I own one of those someday- total treasure.

Scott, you can never have everything when it comes to Cobb!
Jeff P - Those items need to be in Cooperstown. Great letter and Tubes auto'd PC.
Jeff L - Well played on that RPPC from Christies and a great action shot of Cobb.
Jason - Super impressive eye candy and even more amazing, they are all centered!!!
Kevin - Thanks for posting the Dietsches all together, as we all all visual creatures of collecting.
Since this thread has turned into a badass Cobb thread, Ill add this one of the Hubel Hotel known as Cobbzilla.

Here are my Cobbs. I focus on eye appeal over grade. And I’m coveting a Wolverine Portrait and/or a Novelty Cutlery.
Sorry I’m a crappy photographer. I’ve also got a M116 Blue background, 2 1914 Polo Grounds, a Brunner’s Bread, a Rogers Peet, and a 1922 W575-2 that I can’t seem to upload.

Don’t have the card yet, but I won the Uzit bat off shoulder Cobb in the Memory Lane auction this past weekend. Not exactly the T206 I’ve been wanting, but hey it’s a Cobb! Was bidding on the ‘14 Cracker Jack insanely aggressive or what? Hopefully it was a Net54 family member who won it. I tapped out at a little over $10k on that one.

Finally broke down for the greenie. Great centering, no creases, excellent eye appeal, corners a tad soft but consistent with the grade. Perhaps not purple-sticker worthy, but a solid meat-and-potatoes VG-EX, fairly priced. I'm happy.

Great card and an even better price! I thought the stellar eye appeal merited at least another $1,000-$1,500. Congrats!

Hey Ethan. Im not a bat expert. My guess is 1910.
Thanks Mike as the decal as around 95 percent complete.
Craig, thats an awesome Punch Cobb card which to answer Orly's pop question.... it must be around 3. As most know, back in 1910, Cobb was late arriving for the two week series in Cuba. He played in only half the games, so anything from this series is super rare.
Here is a RPPC from the same series. There was another RPPC that sold in the Christies auction making two different ones Ive see.

Craig's Punch Cobb led me into a one hour rabbit hole into the depths of the internet. I only found only 2 graded by sgc and couldn't find one in the psa pop. Both Cobb examples are graded authentic. I was shocked to find that of the 72 total 1910 Punch card graded by SGC, all except for one (a 1.5 jose Mendez) are graded authentic. This is largely due to the fact that only a very small percentage of cards from this set exist with the backing and all graded punch cards without backing are classified as authentic. No examples of this Cobb card with backing are known to exist. What an amazing card!
