Highest Graded Cobb in Your Collection
 
1 Attachment(s)
I may have had a personal breakthrough in my ability (inability) to post scans. Here goes:

I like this card for a number of reasons; First, it comes from the somewhat elusive Rogers Peet set, features Cobb in a rare fielding pose and shows him in an A's uniform, without the familiar D.

I typically do not collect high grade…this is my highest graded cobby.

Since I like my cards non-graded, I have to go with my highest grated Cobb card.

I remember that one Mike. I wish you never sold it, but I recall you making a killing when you sold it (relative to the time) through LOTG

A three-way tie. I don't think I have too many pre-war cards graded higher than five. When I bought these Cobbs fifteen years ago they were affordable.

Especially love the T205, I've been wanting to add a T205 Cobb to my collection for awhile now.

Those are great, John

Scott's W600 will take the cake in this thread...

and a ton of nice Cobby's otherwise...

Not too high of a grade here, but nice looking for the grade (as they say)...
The wrinkle looking blemish on the lower right is only a paper scratch, same look though

Back in the days or years ago....i have come across some Cobbs.
The highest i believe was the 2.5 Cobb (red) last year to a fellow N54.
I still have a Cobb (green) 1.5 from a N54.
and love to show a oddball in here.......1916-20 UNC Big Heads which i also got from a N54.

Thanks Rob,

Your E95 looks awfully nice as well and presents much higher than its technical grade.

Cobbs E95 is definitely one of my favorite of his "E" card images.

As of 20 minutes ago via REA. Bid held up through everything (granted it was a high bid). Most I’ve ever spent on a card.

Absolutely love Threads like this. Great to see all those fantastic Cobb's. Mine is nothing much, but it's the only one I have (for now). Solid registration and deep color...I personally don't think it was trimmed at the top, but SGA did (shrug).

And great cards in this thread otherwise, also.

To me this one looks like it could be a grade higher. And I will take this kind of miss cut every day and twice on Sunday. Thanks Tony and the BST!

You should educate yourself on the good things he did instead of believing "stories", the hospital he started and funded for his community is now one of the Largest health care providers in the area, not to mention the letter writing campaigns to get his peers in the hall of fame, unbeknownst to them. Also the financial support he provided for his teammates when they were down on their luck.
But I'm sure he's just "racis" like the pearl clutching sjw crowd wants to portray him...

Wanaselja 05-01-2022 02:25 PM

I hate to engage with Snowman but even a modest attempt at research would help catch you up to speed on Cobb’s actual story.

That’s his Schtick, throw out a controversial comment and see who bites. I bet he was pretty good at taking the opposing argument in debate class.

You've likely been duped by the sensationalistic media, especially by Cobb's ghostwriter, Al Stump, who made up wholesale lies about him to help sell copies of the book. Charles Leerhsen, on the other hand, did some very thorough research, which led him to the truth of Ty Cobb, and the publishing of "Ty Cobb - A Terrible Beauty."
