Default $152 for this?! (beat up T206 Cobb)

Posted By: Rob L

This reminds me of the first and only T206 that I ever bought and what I had almost purchased. I was at the Frank and Sons Warehouse weekly show in Southern California about 6 years ago looking for some modern cards. I walked past one dealer who had a Cy Young T206 that was missing the bottom quarter of the card. The guy wanted 200 bones for it and I was tempted. I even went back a week later to buy it after I decided "what are the chances I will ever get a Cy Young card?" Luckily it was gone the next week. I ultimately got the Cy Young (hand showing) in a VG grade from Sportscards Plus for $120 about two weeks later.

Maybe the person who won this auction picked up that first Young card that I saw!
