Posted By: Dave FBeen looking at Cobb stuff the past day or two...which prompted the question..which is your favorite Cobb card? and least favorite? For me... Favorite E98...unique pose to me... Least ....D380...just ugly as all get out...of course I wouldn't pass on the card though <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: Joe D.so many great cobby cards. of the attainable ones - For a while.... the Cobby leaning on the bat was my favorite (e92 and similar) I am warming up to the Cracker Jack cobb and that might become my favorite - BUT I hate to be vanilla on this.... but my favorite is the T206 green portrait. Hard to beat this classic! As far as least favorite... Any card that doesn't really resemble cobby (some strip cards, and some popular well-loved e cards).

Posted By: Tony AndreaMy favorite is by far the D304 General Baking. Classic pose. I agree, the D380 is God awful, as is his pose on the E90-1, which incidentally is the same pose only in color. That image is very boring if you ask me. Tony

Posted By: peter ullmanthere are so many great cobb cards...that wilard...the t206 greenie (which is the favorite I own)...but these days my favorite is the sporting life post card pose...he looks so innocent and friendly! Oh and the ugliest...probably that head shot strip w/ the yellow background w/lipstick. pete in mn <img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/ullmandds/scan0009.jpg">

Posted By: Jeff LichtmanLeon, you put up your Big Show Candy as evidence of ugliest Cobb? I agree. You should probably look to unload that monstrosity to, perhaps, the underbidder from that auction.

Posted By: JimBAlthough my personal vote would probably go for the bat/off T206, the red portrait is such a classic I think it out to be up for consideration. I personally like it more than the green on a pure aesthetics level. JimB <img src="http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/748/t206cobbredpsa8cutct3.jpg">

Posted By: leonlYou're right...I think the Schapira is the ugliest. I guess that's why I like it. It's the best at being the worst.....

Posted By: PaulThis has always been my favorite image of Cobb. I also like the Maple Crispette, Both Wolverine News, T206 portraits, & CJ. Not sure which is my least favorite. <img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e195/pgisme/cobbncfront.jpg">

Posted By: BrettThose strip cards are pretty damn ugly ! I don't have a favourite Cobb card, but i've always liked the t206 bat off. Some of his caramels are neat, but I wish the e93, e94 and e98 didnt use the same image of Cobb jumping. i mean the best hitter of his era or all time, and he isnt even holding a bat ! Whats the deal with that ? The e95 is a neat card because I've always liked those dark Tigers caps from back then. The one where hes leaning on the back is neat same with the e90-1. I guess i basically like all of his cards, but the t206 bat on makes him look too fat...
