It is counter intuitive to basic economics until you bring in supply/demand. I would wager that these rarely go up for sale until recently. That makes prices stuck on old sales. Now that a few are getting gobbled up, it both updates the pricing and shows that even w 7 new ones the market is still wildly under supplied .

Considering the quality of the 2.5's and above. It is not surprising if you have the $$$ you would want one of these beauties in your collection. Most of the ones before are beaten up and have creases.

you will see several of these for sale again this year...im sure the National will have a few that will auction for later or whatever

Just saw a tweet from Joe O over at PSA, that the PSA 4.5 Cobb/Cobb was sold today.

Then there were 3 :D

Any word on what it went for? I heard the asking price was 2 mil for that one.

It seems the consignor has done pretty well so far, although I have to wonder what would have happen if a couple, or all of them had ended up at a major AH.

not a question of if they go to a major AH, its when, and im sure several will be at the National....

as sure as you were that that goudey ruth was real?

never said if the card was real...if it was i gave what i thought about it assuming it real and actually said not saying if real or not ........not sure how one of those lucky 7 cobbs wont be at the national for display for an upcoming auction ..i think its obvious.....you saying one wont be? if you dont disagree with one of those cobbs being at this years national ..your comment funny since you agree with me..

Not to get off subject, but actually you did say it was real. Your exact words were "authentic".

Maybe he (hey Jake) meant it was an authentic reproduction?

:D

Saying that one or more of these cards will likely pop up at the national is not much of a stretch. The odds of seeing one with an astronomical price at someone's table is certainly likely... As is the chance one will be sold at auction.

Not exactly Nostradamus like predictions .

One guy has bought at least two of them, and is trying to flip one. I heard he bought three, but perhaps just rumor mill.

Do you anticipate that the sun will rise tomorrow?

no the guy gave the choice between authentic or psa 1...he didnt ask if it was for real actually or maybe i misread his post... like if someone says is a card psa 4 or psa 5 i usually not going to address if the card is real i going to give an opinion if the card is a psa 4 or psa 5...the masters on net54 can address authenticity....i dont do that...especially card not in the hand


by the way who thinks one of these cards will pop up on EBAY before the National......the news would probably cover it as a follow up to the lucky 7 find.....the news likes to talk about million dollar sports cars on ebay from time to time and i would think they would do it with a sports card especially since it was in the new already

correct...thats why was funny to try to point out a fault on a past post when you agree with my post on an obvious situation....i would think you would address a fault in one my past posts if you actually disagreed on the post you commenting on....but maybe thats just me..

A certain news reporter told me if Petey Nash said the sun rose in the east he would have to verify it. I thought that was pretty funny.

I believe he was claiming PSA would give it an "authentic" versus a numeric grade if it was real.

Exactly....... and also said that authentic (if the card was real) can actually be valued more than a psa 1..

Has anyone seen the listings on eBay that reference the Lucky 7 find? Apparently there were a few reprints found in that bag as well. love the hustle.

Not Lucky 7...:(...:

WOW...so far sales of 4 of the 7 appear to have netted between 2-3 mill.

I received the latest SMR a few days ago, and was just reading the story on the Lucky 7 find, when I noticed something about the cards. It appears there is a difference between the cards.

Specifically, four of the cards (cert #s 25470302, 25470303, 25470306, 25470307) have the normal black border around the portrait and red background. The other three cards (cert #s 25470301, 25470304, 25470305) do not have the black border. Additionally, on the four cards with the border, the olde-english D on Cobb's uniform is black, while it is gray on the three cards without the border. Interestingly, there does not seem to be any difference in the black shade of Cobb's collar; it is black on all the cards.

I wonder about the previously known Cobb/Cobb cards, and how they match up.
