#1 on your wantlist? [Archive] - Net54baseball.com Forums

Posted By: jay behrensWhat's the #1 card on your wantlist? This is the card that if serveral cards at the top of your want list came available would be the one card from that group that you would really want. For me, since I've eliminated all minor league cards from my player set quest, the top card on my list is the J=K candy Bedient card. Sadly, there is only one example that I know of and can only hope the owner takes pity on me and offers it to me when he decides to sell. After that, the toughest cards for me to get will be some t207s like Kutina and Bauman a couple of Voskamps pirates and Star Player cards. Jay My place is full of valuable, worthless junk.

Posted By: Tony AndreaIf I could pick one card right now, it would be the E90-1 Cy Young in mid grade. I dont know what it is about that card, but it has me in a trance when I see it. Cleveland or Boston version, doesnt matter...... Anyone seen a decent one lately.

I have nice D304's for potential trade and would even trade a better one for worse one, as long as there's no paper loss on it. The other's on my want list I think I can forget about......it's gonna be a major auction and I pay through the nose or another trucker boy find, which will be as likely as winning the lotto twice ......never hurts to keep hunting though....

Actually got it from eBay using a Buy It Now - who says you can't find deals on eBay that are listed correctly!?!? Now that I have this Cobb (when it arrives) and a Croft's Cocoa Cobb, I guess it is time to quit collecting. Nah - too many other nice cards out there to go after!

Posted By: AnonymousScott: Reference the Red Cross Cobb you picked up...great job! I think I would've jumped at it too had I been home and on the computer. I do have to ask though... Do you feel comfortable its not a fake? I only ask b/c the seller has T206 Cobb also for sale that I thought looked shaddy, but maybe legit. I emailed them yesterday, the response I got back was: "The card has some red pigment missing and corners are rounded, but in my opinion the card would still grade out between a 3 or 5. This is NOT a altered reprint. Check my feedback, I don't sell fakes." With the exception of a T3, I don't see much of a vintage history. Brian

08-21-2005, 05:38 PM

Posted By: Scott ElkinsThis card was purchased by the seller from Mastronet a few years back. Also, the T3 Cobb they sold (purchased from Lipset) has been completed and the buyer has left positive feedback. I have conversed with the seller and feel the card is legit (unless Mastronet sold them a reprint). I will be able to tell for certain as soon as the card arrives. They do offer a 7 day money back guarantee. I only wish they would have had larger scans. From what little I could tell from the small scans, the card definitely looks like a legit Type 2 Red Cross Cobb! I will keep you updated when the card arrives.

Posted By: BrianIf the Red Cross turns out to be legit.....that means I'll just have to sit on Ebay more often and continue to hit refresh to see what new pre-1930s cards have popped up on reasonable BINs! Regardless I'm still not going to do the $1000 BIN or $750 opening bid on T206 Cobb they're offering. Sorry, the card is not VG <img src="http://i22.ebayimg.com/04/i/04/c4/8d/95_1_b.JPG">

08-21-2005, 07:17 PM

Posted By: Scott ElkinsThe Red Cross is nowhere near a 4 or 5 like they stated. I believe this person is an "old timer". I say this by his grading standards and the fact he has purchased some nice cards from major auctions in years past. I believe the T215 Cobb will either grade an SGC 10 or 20 at the highest. I am going to get the money order out tomorrow, and should have the card early next week at the latest - I will keep you posted!

17 years and I still haven't picked up the 1918 Zeenuts Lefty O'Doul. May not be in the cards for me, so to speak. But I did get one that I like every bit as much, so it all worked out.

https://photos.imageevent.com/exhibitman/frankleftyodoulcard/websize/1949%20SK%20PDoul.jpg

1949 Sommer & Kaufmann card signed by Lefty. A tough set to find at all, PSA has graded no Lefty cards from either S&K issue. I suspect this signed specimen is the only one in the world.

At least that won't get you in Folsom Prison.

The performance of that song, at that venue, was absolutely riveting and a truly great musical moment IMO.

Posted By: Bill SAtoneMy #1 card is T210 Series 6 Angermeier Frankfort (fielding). This has been so illusive I haven't even been able to find a scan of it --if someone has the card, a scan would be appreciated very much!

Is it somewhere here?

Been looking for a Weed, Spokane OBAK and 2 T210s to finish my Ft Worth team set for quite some time.

I want to add a t206 bat off and on cobb again. I still regret letting those go. If we don't limit to cards we can actually afford a Ruth RC is #1 on my list.
