Thanks for chiming in everyone on the oranges, as I've known about the 2 Cobb's for a while, but couldn't make heads or tails of them with the thought of there only being one sheet produced. Leon, yours is a beauty! I agree Jim, it seems like the ones known are in super sharp condition and probably weren't released. Although possible Bob, it would seem 2 Cobb's on one sheet would be quite odd. Just as odd is Brian had a bunch, but not all the players. I think you're right that it was a test balloon or on accident. My guess is there were a couple of sheets produced and the ones not known are tucked away in a collection we'll see down the road. The 2 Cobb's made it out to the market first being the most valuable card in the set. I'm looking forward to seeing a few more oranges show up down the road!
