Default Ty Cobb Tobacco Tin on Auction Kings

I believe this was a new episode on Discovery tonight. The tim apparently purchased by the consignor at an estate sale for a buck. The expert claimed that there were only eight to ten exist. He also had with him a Ty Cobb Bat On Shoulder and (while pointing at it) and said "a tobacco card just like this would have been on the inside". He clarified that it would have contained a Ty Cobb card and not another ball player.

I wont play spoiler on the auction price... Anyone else see the episode?

I saw it too. The expert (was his name Tony?) ended up buying it at the auction. Is he a net54 member? I thought it sold for a lot considering that it was just a rusty old tin, but I don't collect that sort of stuff. I thought the original price of $1 was a good deal.
