E98 Cobb color run
 

Hey, I finally completed by E98 color run so I thought I'd share. I'm pretty happy and hope I can resist the temptation to upgrade. I'll probably start looking for a purple E94 to fit in with the pose. On to the E98 Mathewson run I guess.
Feel free to post your E98s !!

Very impressive and congrats. I think there is a purple E94 on eBay now. Has a big crease going through in as I recall.

awesome dave! the e94 color run will take the rest of your lifetime to compile...while an e93 will be easy.

And hopefully you won Ted's B/W in the last REA.:D

No I didn't... :(

Awesome run, and all of the cards look great too - congrats!

Fantastic, Dave! Gorgeous!

Nice group of Cobbs!

Sweet quartet there Dave! Well done.

Very nice group Dave.

Here's one of mine. Not the best of shape but, hey, it used to be Lionel's so I like it a lot. :D

Dave, that is one fantastic quartet!

Dave - those 4 cards are sweet. I love this pose. If your quartet represents the Beatles, then my four beaters are kind of like a local garage band which has two bassists and no drummer. But I still love them!

ill take beaters like that anyday! nice!

nice Cobb runs!

Congrats on a nice run, Dave! They look great!

Is there a consensus as to the general ranking of scarcity of the colors as it relates to Cobb? Same question as to the set in genera?

I don't think there is a consensus and opinions are likely anecdotal. I'd imagine it's not uniform across all players, although I don't any facts for stating that.
What is evident is the the Black Swamp Find added a significant portion of Red varieties. Here are some raw numbers from PSA and SGC. SGC doesnt subset color varieties and PSA only recently has. Lets look at 3 stars:

Ty Cobb- PSA graded 39 before differentiating, SGC has graded 52
- PSA color population: Red-1
Orange-4
Blue-5
Green-3
Black Swamp Red-18

Honus Wagner-PSA graded 31 before differentiating, SGC 72
- PSA Color population: Red-4
Orange-1
Blue-0
Green-2
Black Swamp REd-17
Black Swamp Green-18

Christy Mathewson-PSA graded 19 before differentiating, SGC 48
- PSA color population: Red-4
Orange-1
Blue-2
Green-2
Black Swamp Red-1

The numbers graded since PSA started breaking down color varieties are too small to assume the ratios are similar in their undifferentiated population ( and SGCs)
It would appear, however, if you have the cash the Red variety is most plentiful ( in general)

The Cobb has one of the best images on a card, ever. (good for avatars, too ;) )

Great runs, Sam, Dave, and Justin!
