What would a W600 Cobb go for now? The last one I am aware of that sold was one in a Goodwin auction, perhaps 7-8 years ago--maybe more, and I believe it went for $35 K. Anyone know of more recent sales (although there aren't going to be many--tough card!)?

12k for a poor w600 Waddell? Do you have a link? That sounds crazy high unless it was the green mount.

I personally don't put Plank much higher than Rube, although I may be biased.

Yeah, a w600 Cobb would go crazy, and rightfully so. He should be multiple times what a Plank goes for. Plank uniform may be technically tougher but Cobb is next level Hof tier, also extremely tough, and many consider the w600 to be his rookie.
