T206 sale list from 1980
 

Posted By: <b>jackgoodman</b><p>Looking thru some old Trader Speaks and came across a four page ad for T206s from Richard Gelman's CCC in NY. Not sure how well the scan will appear, but you could buy all 4 Cobbs for a little under $600.<br /><br />Thought everyone might enjoy this blast from the past.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.mlbvintage.com/pics/uploads/t206ad.jpg">

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Very interesting. I bought a T206 Cobb portrait (red) in 1981 for $90, but it did have a crease.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Brian Goldner</b><p>it wouldn't shock me if i had that issue around around somewhere. amazingly, at the Detroit Show in 1970, i acquired a T-206 Red Background Cobb in a trade, with the trade value being fifty cents. the card was probably a nice vg-ex. also a 1954 Topps Mays, ex or better, for the same value in trade. my, how things have changed.

Posted By: <b>Darren_Duet</b><p>In 1980 I was ten years old. I spent about $200 that year on baseball cards--all the money I earned shrimping, trapping, & mowing lawns -- Approximately 80% of that on 1980 topps and the few $ left on 6 coupons including a poor conditioned Cobb(bat off)....The current value of the $160 of 1980 topps is around $100....and I estimate the 6 coupons at $600-700.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>Five years earlier, CCC was offering essentially all T206 HOFers for $5 each, including Cobb, Johnson, Mathewson, and Young. There was obviously a steep increase in price over the next five years for Cobb. I didn't buy any of them. I just couldn't believe that cards that old could have survived, so I thought there was something fishy going on.
