Would you mind posting each card/ front & Back ---make us a list of those GEMS!!!!

We've talked about a Titus hoarder, but this is a serious hoard. :eek:

A virtual cornfield of Cobbs
 

For a non-Titus hoarder, nice stash!

A question...do you have something against the Cobb Bat on card? Only see one, which might just indicate a certain lack of interest?

Amazing... this piece has always remained a mystery to me.

Great stuff.

Thanks David!

Great, great piece.

Very cool to see all those portraits laid out like that, rareback!

A few of my favorites...

Trade?

Lets see it!!

Great Cobbs everyone!
 

I at one time started a back run of red Cobbs and stopped at 10. What was I thinking, that's the toughest one to pick so I ended up selling all of them. But I did keep my green Cobb; only because my wife bought it for me for Christmas like 4 years ago. I will never part with it, well you all know why... :rolleyes:

I have posted this a few times over the last couple years... but this thread seems like a good spot for it one more time :)

According to my research.. there are a total of 30 possible backs for the red cobb portrait.. The ones missing from the below picture include the T213 Type 3 with Overprint (only 1 known).. the T214 Victory (only 2 or 3 known).. and the Cobb Back (10-12 known)
Lots of toughies shown below.. including the Sov460, AB350, Lenox, RH, Blank, Drum (1 of 3), BL460 (1 of 1)

Unfortunately had to sell a couple Cobbs this year, but still have these:

yes :)

Amazing cards and items posted so far! My contribution is below. Three photos (my favorite Cobbs) and a notebook cut card that I did not see posted yet.

Awesome cards everyone.

Jamie, I never get tired of seeing your Cobb run. Those last few backs are insane.

Ty serving his country in WWI

Acquiring all four T206 Cobbs in any condition is a fairly rare hobby achievement. Happy new year!

Chuck, I definitely am stoked to have mine, I meant what I said more in awe of these others. I mean, yowza! There are some really smokin' cards in this thread! I personally am proud to not only get all 5 of my Cobbs, but I was able to get all of them just in this year alone. And if you knew what I paid for all of them, you would really see why I am proud to be able to put this collection together! Thanks for the nice words, and Happy New Year to you as well!

Nice Craig, almost as good as t206's.

Always enjoy looking at history. Great stuff everyone.

Happy New Year

Nice thread, here are a few more-

Best Cobb!
 

Does anyone think it's weird that I'm obsessed with a player who died almost 20 years before I was born???

I'm hoarding Cobbs but my 1914 Cracker Jack and T3 are my favorites.

Wow, that's an impressive accumulation of cobbs

Loving me some more here---not to mention those 33 Goudeys of Ruths, and a Gehrig and some Ted Williams and of course the Mick 51 peeking over on the right side. The on the left side what seems to be some t206s with a Nolan ryan and maybe a 55 koufax?
Love to see those as well!!!
I been playing with the idea of getting the blue pastel Cobb to go with my 4 Cobb run i'm pursuing. Nice head shot and blue background. I doubt i ever get a CJ Cobb tho. Nice bold red color it has.

Awesome collection...but you still need an e94...i'd suggest green or purple!

we all suffer from a similar affliction!

Here is my 1927 York Caramels E210 of Mr. Cobb.

Jerry posted a show stopper! Awesome PC Jerry.

I have had a hankering to buy a Cobb for 5 months now. Finally splurged on my first. It's someone else's until it gets in my hand, but I'm excited! It's in a postal vehicle somewhere. Decided on the 1921 exhibit that I can display next to my '21 Speaker exhibit. My wife is making me rob Peter to pay Paul in order to finance it. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9ec051e5a8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b389641124.jpg

Great thread to bump. Here are a few toughies, including another Rose Co

I got one of these when i was a little kid. I had no idea what it was but I knew Cobb was a legend and it was my first card of him. It was pretty rough so I replaced it years later. Two more from my childhood:

AWESOME PIECES EVERYONE!:eek::eek:

A few low grade nice eye appeal examples.

And an Orange background.

Love that fat border red, Dean!

Thanks Sam! I know I've mentioned this before, but it took me a very long time find a red Cobb that was centered with a deep red background and a focused image. The big borders were icing on the cake. ;)

Is this a photo? "Cobb out at 3rd." That's a beauty! Nice display piece.

Here is my best Cobb.

An all low grade collection for me. All with nice eye appeal though IMO.

Hell of a 1 Chris!!.. love the cobb/lenox combo.. that one especially..

Wow Jeff, great display. Jamie, I agree, if I was going to have one Cobb, a Red Portrait with Black Lenox back is high on that list; great card Chris.

Have a couple to share. The auto is from a 1940's magazine of that iconic picture.

A little beat, but still a nice card.

What an iconic photo to have autographed! That's great!

That Cobb is perfect. It has a lot of problems to bring down the price for cheap/poor guys like myself. Then his face is free of any problems. I really like cards like that.:)

Great Cobbs everyone!
 

Tremendous stuff, I particularly like the Piedmont Art Stamp and the Carolina Brights Cobbs. Here are a couple of my favorites from my collection

Love that fan Aaron.. Let me know when I get visiting rights.

Awesome Nadja Cobb Aaron!!......Jerry

My only Cobb. Love the color and centering for the grade. :D

Nowadays I like big borders as they are less likely to be trimmed and missed by a TPG...
