I think the lack of authentication is a big minus. Few collectors want to pay thousands for an item that doesn't have a COA/LOA. As a layperson/collector who has looked at a lot of Cobb autos, it doesn't look bad. Again, I have absolutely no training or authentication experience so mine is purely a guess.....What does a ball like that with a COA go for? Is that already top price? Does it matter it was 20 yrs after his playing days?
