Badly trimmed cobb on eBay
 
I missed it but would like to buy it from the new owner if they are on the board. I am a green Cobb away from completing my 520 beater set. Very disappointed I missed it. Hopefully it went to someone who needs it.

How do you know it's not that rare 1/1 "blue" version?

A question for the forum


If all the green is removed from a green Cobb, is it still a green Cobb?

frankbmd 09-02-2018 09:05 AM

Another question for the forum


If all the red is removed from a red Cobb, is it still a red Cobb?

Throttlesteer 09-02-2018 09:52 AM

Never mind. Must have been a reprint

jlehma13 09-03-2018 07:50 AM

Yes and one I can afford as well!

I think the “greenless” variation is even rarer.:D

Cobb
 
with no color I wouldn't think you could call it anything and this is not a knock on your affordability....more incomplete card

Does this mean Jon, thanks to Jeff, now has his 520 T206 set? If so, congrats!

Brian

Leon.....
 
this should be on the front forum page:)


had me smiling ear to ear

The Monster Number Oversight Committee (MNOC) met yesterday to review your claim of 520. Due to the fact that your green Cobb does not have any green background, and due to the precedent set by Bocabirdman’s Waddell, your new Monster Number will be recorded as 519.8. :D

If you decide to display your Cobb with a guacamole background, please submit evidence with your appeal to the MNOC.:eek:

Either way rest assured that a Monster Number of 519.8 is an admirable achievement.;)

You should see his Johnson portrait too.....might be 519.6

Amazing gesture Jeff!!!

jlehma13 09-14-2018 05:36 PM

Thanks guys and thanks again, Jeff. If we're going by completeness of individual cards, I'm probably in the 300's! I'll put together some photos soon For all those interested and those who were involved in helping to piece this set together over the last 6 years. Happy to be in the 520 club without making concessions on quality - only the worst of the worst here!

Congrats, Jon. Looking forward to the pictures! Also, nice gesture Jeff!!

EDIT: Just saw the thread on the main board, nice write up.
