These are two of my favorite images ever produced on a card, and two of my favorite pre-war players. Really nice eye appeal on them, though the creases on the Cobb it could be a bit of a technical overgrade.

Scarcity-wise, tough to argue with an iconic Cobb card that is likely one of 10-15 that exist...maybe far less than that even. These no-offer backs are just so tough.

i was watching the cobb all weekend and think it is one of the best buys of the auction. having seen other T3s from that find on display at REA's table, the colors are amazing. i think you will be stunned (and happy). what a great price for that card, given the crazy hard back.

Did anyone happen to win lot #2642, a small group of seven e104s? I could use one or two of the cards if the winner was in a sharing mood

Thanks!

Thank you for that. I am thinking that maybe the "snow" on the card may have kept the price down a bit, but beggars cannot be choosers for a card as rare as this one. I am just amazed by the corners. T3's almost invariably have worn corners and this one (and the Waddell as well) has such great corners. And there is no possible way I could have gone after the prior Cobb from this find that went for almost four times what this one went for (graded SGC 60 and has the same "snow" as the one I won).
