Default Further Thoughts about Red Cobb with Cobb back

Posted By: Greg Ecklund

The arguments to include this card in the T206 set seem flimsy at best - if the card wasn't distributed in the same manner as the rest of the set then the argument for including it doesn't hold water. Plus the legit backs of the T206 set have a number of different subjects on the front - that the Cobb back has only the red Cobb front would classify it as more of a promotional card in my book. I don't collect T206 and don't have much interest in ever putting the set together, so I have no skin in the game in that regard.

All that said, even if it isn't a T206 (which it isn't) there's no reason that the card can't be appreciated for what it is - an incredibly rare and desirable card of one of the 2 or 3 best to ever play the game.
