That tin actually sold back in March. It was beat up pretty badly and the price wasn't out of line with value. Aside from the one in Legendary that sold for a whopping $35k (for no apparent reason), the other beautiful ones I have seen have all sold in the 10k range.
In all likelihood, the Ty Cobb backed cards DID NOT come in these tins. I saw the expert they brought in (Tony Cocchi) and he generally got the points right, but made some misstatements. For the record, there are more than 10 of these tins known... I've counted 14, and I'm sure there are others.
