Sovereign Back. Spent almost 3 weeks paychecks on it. A harsh sacrifice for a 22 year old but I can't wait to get it in my hands.

A nice card.

And better spent than spending it on movies, snacks, new ball cards, beer...

That's one of my favorite cards, so I would agree with your pick. I think that's the first Cobb I ever bought.

Nice pick up. You have to figure, a nice Cobb like that doesn't expect flowers, chocolates or exclusivity.

Did you say 22? Outstanding performance, "all da way around"! I'm slowly collecting Soveriegn Backs now. In about 10 years or so, (Maybe) when I have "3 months worth of retirement pay" saved up, I'll be able to pry it from your hands to complete my set

Life's Grand,

Great Cobb. Whoever said you wouldn't feel bad about the money once it is in your hands is right. I'm 26 and spent a little less than 2 paychecks for each of my 2 Cobbs, and have been glad that I did both times. The bat off will probably be the next Cobb I buy. I am thinking of going for the T206 set as a long term collecting goal, but I've been slowed up since 2 that I have bought have been Cobbs. Nice card.

That card has all the wonderful components you could (or at least I could) want in a T206. Was one of my first Cobbs -- and vintage cards -- as well.

...you picked the right holder. Too often rookie Cobb buyers try to save themselves a ton of money and wind up with an unslabbed reprint or a PRO graded trim job. Here you made a wise decision on many fronts.

I'm 36 and still have yet to ever crack the top tier HOFers among my card collection. Well done!

your focused dedication is inspirational, ...said the guy with umpteen ridiculous sidebar collections...

Haha thanks for all the encouragements guys. This is only my intro into the top tier guys i guess. I do have a Matty T206 White Cap graded a 3 and a T211 Walter graded a 3, but this is my first real big purchase. I spent 900 on the Cobb and before that the most I ever paid for a card was 375 for a James Ryan N29, however that was a raw card and is now sitting in a BVG 6 holder : ). Won't get it for 375 anymore.

The satifaction of getting this card in your hands
will last about 35 seconds, and then you'll be
shopping for another one online. It never ends.

Welcome to the hobby.

My first Cobb (T206 red portrait) came when I was about 32. I didn't know what a T206 was when I was 22. Congratulations. Nice card.

Thanks. I've been collecting since I was about 10. Except now I actually have money coming and going to make actual purchases. When I was younger all I did was spend birthday/christmas/confirmation money on my cards so it was always just a few hundred here and there. Now I can finally start to really build. That's not to say I don't already have a fantastic collection, but now there is no looking back. Unless of course I end up poor or shoot to celebrity stardom and pick up a drug habit or two.
