At the last National in Chicago (2 years ago) I acquired my holy grail - an e92 Nadja Ty Cobb. The dealer I got it from had acquired 3 of them (privately) shortly before the National. They are the only 3 known to exist. Two of them were gobbled up by “heavy hitter collectors” before the National leaving the 1 I acquired. None of the 3 have been in auctions nor are they likely to. If I hadn’t gone to the National I wouldn’t have 1 of them either.
If & when possible, GO.
