Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>Both are great, but if forced to make a choice, I would go with the Boston Garter.<br /><br />Can anyone think of any Ty Cobb card that might match the BG in value or desirability? I cannot.

Posted By: <b>joe brennan</b><p>Great card. Never saw the BG before. I guess that makes it very easy. <br><br>In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

Posted By: <b>Cat</b><p>Jeff:<br /><br />I have the over/under on the available Boston Garter at $105K and the over/under on the available Cobb Cobb at $44K. I don't know if that affects a decision.<br /><br /><br />edited to add the words "available"

Posted By: <b>Dan Kravitz</b><p>BG goes for close to $100K and the Ty Cobb back around $75K. Anyone else have an opinion on final prices? <br />Jeff- BG all day every day hands down!!

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I voted easy decision on the Boston Garter but I would be happy to have either and either will do well at auction, in todays environment. I don't think the Cobb back (that one)will/would get to 75k....I think closer to 50k...and the BG maybe 100k....hard to tell....maybe I am way off??

Posted By: <b>Jeff Lichtman</b><p>I agree with Leon -- the BG for around 100 or less, and the Cobbx2 for 50-70K.

Posted By: <b>Wesley</b><p>The Boston Garter should be well over $100,000. It is graded SGC 50? Didn't a Joe Jackson with some serious alterrations go for over $100,000 in Mile High not long ago. We have seen several Jacksons, and this is the first time a Cobb has been offered to the public.<br /><br />If a SGC 30 Cobb back breaks $45K, that will set a record for a price for a PSA/SGC 2 level Cobb back. I think in this climate the price will be less than $45K.

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>Although I do not collect either one as I am only interested in the earliest issued Cobb card possible, the Boston Garter is a beautiful issue and definitely more appealing to a non-partisan collector like myself who is not looking at the $$ involved.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>I'm not sure it qualifies as a "card".<br /><br />Its not tobacco, candy, or, bread.<br /><br />Its not nearly card-sized.<br /><br /><br />If postcards aren't cards.... <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Patrick McHugh</b><p>The BG. I think the BG will go around 200k or more.
