Beautiful card, and a scarcer color for sure, especially in that condition. I've seen a few orange Cobb's pop up recently in low grades. We have discussed this before, and no doubt there are tougher player/color combos. For Cobb, the green is the rarest imo, followed by blue, orange and red. The blues, in which none were found in the Black Swamp Find, are the rarest and most condition sensitive of all the colors generally speaking. Some thought the red's could have been before the BSF. But, now the reds, followed by the greens are found most often. There were only two orange players found in the BSF, Miner Brown and Bridwell. So, like the blues, the orange backs will be more challenging to find, and in good condition. I can write a book on each player and their difficulty, but I'll let a few others chime in like Tim Kindler, who most recently put together a Master Set.
