Good luck on landing your Cobb. I don't think you'll regret it.
Wanted to add. The red Cobb can be deceptively tough to land with nice centering and registration. But well worth it when one surfaces.

Regarding the spending of the hypothetical $5K, I agree. That is a level I am rarely at and would probably only be the result of having made a lot of sales. I have told myself if I ever got in that position that I would acquire a card or two that I otherwise couldn't touch. The smaller, lower grade stuff I can probably afford any time.
I have set my sights on the two Cobbs at this point. There are plenty of other candidates. A nice Clemente rookie or a Ted Williams rookie also cross my mind as do one of the '33 Goudey Ruth's (especially 53 or 149). Gehrig ('33 or '34 #37) is also someone who I would spend big on. And there's always Mantle...'53 Bowman and '56 Topps.
