Back in 2004, I paid $800 for a Green Cobb, really nice PSA 1. Back then they weren't worth $800 (more like $650), but it was the last card I needed for my T206 set and I didn't want to wait. I overpaid on a Cobb then, but now it could probably get twice the amount. As the other two people have said, you won't lose money by holding on to that Cobb.
