I think there are going to be some great opportunities in this collection. The collectors who can buy the best cards and hold onto them for a number of years will do very well. On the other hand, the dealers who buy these on Monday and have them on ebay on Tuesday will not.
I was stunned to see so many high grade Cobbs in that find. (But it makes sense, when I think about how many high grade Roger Clemens cards I saved in the 80s - the collector saved the best!).

I agree with your view that the price appreciation potential of the E98 Cobb is limited, but I think that this card could still command $25,000+ for all. Consider the 1915 Cracker Jack card, which is reported to have a population of 10 for PSA 8, a pop of 2 at 8.5 and a pop 1 at 9. The PSA 8s are likely able to get $20-25,000 despite having 3 cards in higher grade.
