Well I bought a lot of the 4 t206 cobbs from a lipset auction maybe 15-17 years ago...sold the other 3 for what I paid for the lot...and the cobb was free!

Back then you could do things like this pretty routinely...not that I did!!!!

T206 Green Cobb : Less than 100 graded by PSA in the EX+ range.

I remember when people said the same exact thing about the 52 Topps Mantle 10-12 years ago.....

Assuming the economy stays strong and keeps improving, the Green Cobb has no ceiling. The worst I see it doing is plateauing.

I used to do the same thing in college, but not with baseball cards.

Orlando, you had more balls than me... I wouldn’t do the sell off, but would gladly kick in for “4 Cobbs” as long as someone else sold the other 3 and we shared the green Cobby

I have been watching and researching the cobb prices for many months now and looking at past sales.

The bat on in grade 6 has comparable quantities to the green 5.
The bat off 7 and red 7 have similiar quantities to the 5 as well. I think that is s good way of seeing where jumps may occurr.

I belive if you are looking for a cobb the green will keep going and the other ones in those grades will be the next to make significant forward progress.

I have noticed that the appear to have dried up for the most part. Cant find any recent psa sales. Every now and again I see a nice centered front and back, good registration red in psa 6 or a nice bat off in a 6, but far and few between.

The recent memory lane auction the prices soared to some crazy numbers.

If see no end for any of the 4. Im hoping to pick a few up as investments for the long term.

So many questions come to mind. So many questions. For a later day.

The good - I got in early enough to afford a nice example.

The bad - Would like to add a nice Sovereign bat on but probably priced out now.

[ullmandds]

While the pop reports comparing the green background Cobb to the bat on maybe similar the bat ons popularity will never ever begin to approach that of the green Nor will it’s value
