2 1 15749988 POOR 1 1910 E98 SET OF 30 TY COBB Just graded today, PSA 1

The card does not have a single crease and looks like a 4-5 on the front, it is OC lr but it is also over sized. What do you think the current value for this would be?
Thanks Guys

any thoughts? VCP or anything?

value
 
A card like that is a bit difficult to put a value on, especially in this market. The last VCP prices, on a 1, were approx $550, 3 years ago and $1050?, 2 years ago. The only 2 SGC10's are $1390 and $1150 respectively, both within the last year or year and a half. This is a crappy economy though, so who knows. If it were on ebay in the correct category I could see it going for a wide spread. Maybe $700 on the low end and $1200 on the high end...but those are just semi-educated guesses...regards

thanks leon. So do you think I should hold it for 3 years or so?

From purely an investment standpoint, if you can afford to do so, that's probably not a bad idea. As a collector, you'd have to decide if you'd rather own something else during that time span.

Great card for a collector! I'll agree with Leon, the card should do $700+ on any given day on eBay. Good luck!

Thanks guys, I think I may hold it for a few years bc of the economy. But like yall said I would trade it for something else if needed.

my guess...$800-$1000. if you're planning to wait 3-4 years because you think it'd dramatically increase in value (like 50%), don't hold your breath imo. back in '06 caramel cobbs might be thought of as semi "tough"...that's no longer the case.

if you're a collector and enjoy the card, great...if you want to invest (heh) i'd rather put the 1k in a nice VG+ t206 cobb as the monster will always be popular with new collectors.
