I have totally ignored vintage baseball cards for several years as I concentrated on other aspects of my life (I have four kids). I recently checked back in and was looking at the Net54 site and wow, T206 Cobbs have really gone through the roof. It's shocking, really. I bought this trimmed Green Cobb many years ago for very little (no one seemed to value authentic cards back then) because it looked great and now I wish I had invested my entire retirement fund in Green Cobbs. Are there other cards in the last few years that have skyrocketed?

Major post-war HOF RCs in high grade.

There have also been some near runs. Koufax rookies (in nice but not elite grade), Titus T206 made some nice gains but failed to establish a bulkhead at the higher rate.

Hi, welcome back from your Slumber... :)
T206 HOFers (Cobb, Matty, WaJo, Young, Speaker, Lajoie)...especially with rare backs.
Cobb Anything
Ruth Anything
Joe Jackson Anything
52 Topps Mantles
Cracker Jack HOFers...
Etc, etc...
Moustaches come and go....Candy cards, at least average nice ones, are still moderately priced compared with what they used to be. This E92 is missing some red tint and was only $125 on our BST not long ago. As to the original question, Red T206 Cobbs have been continually climbing too, it seems.
