Snagged this beauty last on REA to add to my Cobb collection. I've compared dozens and dozens of T205 Cobbs over the past year or two, from past sales, current available and misc. auctions.
For me, it was always important to find:
* a centered copy
* a copy with minimal/no side chipping
* strong colors. strong registration
* solid to strong corners
Basically, the best copy right!?!
Well, the unicorn (for me) became available during this past REA auction, so I pushed in all the chips. I know of many of the known 6 copies and most 5 copies and knew that this was better than almost every 5 I had seen (often not close) and most 6's. Knowing a 7 and the few 8's out there would probably never be in the cards for me, I went for it.
Pinching myself a bit here and can't wait to welcome this beauty home to join the Cobb family.

Fantastic Cobb Brian. I too am patiently waiting for the right T205 Cobb, albeit in a lower grade, to come along. What a beauty.
