The beauty of the T-227 Cobb really caught my interest at a show a few years back and got me back into collecting again. It's been my personal white whale ever since. Finding this one was incredibly satisfying.
A few other odds and ends -- '67 Venezuelan Cobb, '40 PB Williams, a few T206's, and worked on finishing up a '56 Topps set, but these Pre-War Cobbs were the highlights by far.
Wasn't sure how AC would go, but sounds like the Dealers and Collectors were both pleasantly surprised from what I overheard.

Nice. I love that Cobb. I think the T227 is right up there with the greatest T sets ever. Such a beautiful card.
I know what you mean about T227 white whales. The T227 Jack Johnson is mine.
Awesome scores everyone!
