Outside of that one, this is the only other one to come to the market I've seen. I thought it would go for at least 2k, but someone else wanted/needed it as bad as me I guess. His image isn't bad, but the card is game used for sure. I had to take what I could get.

First off, Pete is correct -- it's an incredibly difficult Cobb to find and I don't think the price is so crazy when you consider what is paid for some common T206s with quasi-rare backs. As for the one at the Baltimore National two years ago, I was literally making my last walk-through before leaving and wandered by Levi's tables -- I rarely would spend too much time at Levi's because he sells great post-war cards, 50s Topps sets, etc. -- and BOOM -- this one hit me between the eyes. I couldn't pay for it fast enough.
