Posted By: <b>ScottIngold</b><p>Wow.....<br /><br />These seem to have gone up a bit in the past year or so.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:US:11&Item=120117024329" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBUAA:US:11&Item=120117024329</a><br /><br />Any idea as to the price of the fielding version ? I picked one up from a board member sometime ago. I just never see them come up at auction.<br /><br />Just shocked at the ending price. I was thinking in the 300.00 range for a 1.5

Posted By: <b>Dave S</b><p>Very few fielding poses out there; realistically, in like condition, think you can (at minimum) double the price...

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>REA just had a near set- 15 of 16- and of course the missing one was Cobb fielding. Very tough card.

Posted By: <b>ScottIngold</b><p>Any thoughts as to why it's so tough ? Granted it doesn't have what i consider a great picture of Cobb but does this equate to less having survived ?

Posted By: <b>Scott Elkins</b><p>it was printed first with the set, then replaced by the batting pose. So, technically, the fielding pose was issued first - guess that one is his real "Rookie". <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>There are very few graded cards of the fielding version; but damn, is that the worst fielding picture you've ever seen?

Posted By: <b>Steve Murray</b><p>I agree. Looks like he tripped over the bag and is about to fall flat on his face. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>...which is even more incredible when you consider he was an outfielder! What is he doing on that base?

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I won the REA Dietsche near set, so I do need a fielding to complete. I've always thought that card was probably replaced early in the print run with the batting card, just to have a more attractive Cobb in the set. I estimate seeing about a half dozen a year, so they are not impossible to find.

Posted By: <b>ScottIngold</b><p>In the past year i've seen 2. Of them i grabbed one. But wish i picked up the other as well. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />I have this one as well as a 40 batting and an ungraded batting that should grade a 5.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1178828222.JPG"> <br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>I have had a couple of near complete sets over the years but that fielding pose doesn't even look familiar. I must have been without it each time.<br /><br />The photo is too dark and it looks like his right hand is missing. I can see why it was replaced.
