Show us your Cobbs

[BeanTown]

Wow! Dan and Joshue, Way to bring the thread back to life with those amazing Cobbs!!! Thanks Derek as I was glad to see my bid held up during extended time. I think it fell under the radar.

I picked this one up recently. 1908 Dietsche Cobb with "Cobb" name in shadow. I have never seen another like this. If you have one please post. Thanks

Mike, this is the 1908 version of the Cobb card. As you can see, there are a few versions of this card as well (based on the placement and font of the "Cobb").

[insidethewrapper]

Jeff: that's my point, all the ones I have seen have his name "Cobb" outside the shadow, like the one you shown . Do you have one "in the shadow " ?

Mike - Here is a composite of the five different Cobb cards that I am aware of: 07 fielding, 07 batting, 08 name above shadow, 08 name in shadow, 08 no name.

Here's one for the Cobb collector who has everything.

It will be in my auction that starts next week, shameless plug

[Solemany2k]

M116 Cobb. I'm not crazy about the case because vthe card moves around. I may send it back to sgc for a better fit. Any opinions?

That bank box filled with all those Cobbs would give Apple a run for its longterm investment potential!

Growing up I thought that I’d never own the cards I have today! I would go to the local card shop each week and spend about $50/week. I would still go to the card shop into my late 20’s! I really didn’t have a collection that had a focus. I just would buy whatever looked cool. I always loved vintage baseball cards. The way the looked compared to modern day cards were fascinating to me.

Almost two years ago, I came across Orlando Rodriguez on Instagram. His collection was amazing. He helped me with refocusing my collection. I stopped going to the card shop. I didn’t spend the $50 each week at the card shop. I sold off my whole collection. I started first by selling the cards I could live without. That was easy. But it was hard at first to sell rookie cards of the likes of Pete Rose, Nolan Ryan, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Pete Maravich, etc. Eventually I sold them as well. I started over. It was hard.

I started to then focus on Ty Cobb. I tried to buy the best card that I could afford with the money I made off of selling my other cards.

My first Cobb was purchased in June of 2017. It was the T206 Piedmont Portrait Green Background SGC 35. So, in a little over one year and 3 months I have gathered these 7 Cobb’s pictured here.

My next Cobb card will most likely be an E95 or a T227!

Oh and by the way, Thanks Orlando. You have made all of the difference!!!

Come on Ryan, surely you can do better than that crappy-looking Croft's Candy card!

P.S. - Congrats on your super-nice group of Cobbies!

After seeing so many truly amazing Cobbs in this thread, I can't believe I own one that hasn't been posted yet. Here is my E126 American Caramel.
