Best Cobb… on a budget

[Belfast1933]

Wondering what others might suggest to be the best Cobb card in the $2-3k price range… I have always lusted after his T206 bat off shoulder and portrait cards but worry that my budget would not get he into either of those (other than possibly total beaters)

I also love the T202 with “3 Hall of Famers” with Cobb twice plus Jennings

Wondering what others would consider to be a great Cobb buy at this price range? This will very likely be my one/only Cobb in my HOF collection so, like most of you, I will be picky!

Or I might just wait until I can afford a dream Cobb

Thanks for any suggestions!

Others will have better non-t206 ideas but I’d like to offer my two cents that the green portrait psa 1 on eBay is a great looking card somewhat close to your range (and I think it’s by a n54 member so you can reach out directly). A little paper loss near the left border but what a card.

E253 might work...it was a little under 3k a year ago....

Update: the green portrait I was thinking of isn’t there anymore

I like the T205 Cobbs.
Sharp looking cards and alot of variation on the backs.

and auction houses also have them for auction

You have to look and be patient because some people like to over price them on ebay
But the last 3 sold on ebay in that range PSA 1's went for

1's can have wild deviations in visual appeal. Yes, I like the T205 Cobb suggestion too..

And a respectable looking one in an SGC A holder just went for $1,600 in REA last weekend.

The B-18s are still affordable if you are ok with something a little less cardlike.
Finding a really nice one might take some time, but easily fits that budget.

A silk that is lower grade but looks good might just be doable.

[Jcosta19]

Its depends on what grade/eye appeal level you are looking for.

My vote is the e90-1. It's probably a little lower in price than the t205. But still unlikely to find higher than a grade 2 for under 3k.

The last sold in your price range was a PSA 2 at heritage in August for $2700 range.

Don't over think it and get a 206. A nice bat off or on can be had for around 3k. If you pay more at least you got the card you desired. Plus it's value will surely increase.

If your budgeting t201's are a fairly inexpensive way to get Cobb & Crawford together. Lot nicer card then cut strip cards at the same price.

Get the 206 so you don't regret your decision. Both my Cobbs were in your price range. My exhibit was under $1000 before the price surge.

This is on eBay for $2995 OBO right now.

100% save up and get what you really want!

I basically agree with the 'stache

If you buy a card that's too raggedy and you really don't like it, you'll eventually replace it... and then you join that dreaded club of those who 'bought a card twice so they could have it once'. I've done that a few times, 'tis painful.
