E98 Cobb color run

[Stonepony]

Hey, I finally completed by E98 color run so I thought I'd share. I'm pretty happy and hope I can resist the temptation to upgrade. I'll probably start looking for a purple E94 to fit in with the pose. On to the E98 Mathewson run I guess.
Feel free to post your E98s !!

Very impressive and congrats. I think there is a purple E94 on eBay now. Has a big crease going through in as I recall.

awesome dave! the e94 color run will take the rest of your lifetime to compile...while an e93 will be easy.

And hopefully you won Ted's B/W in the last REA.

Sweet quartet there Dave! Well done.

Very nice group Dave.

Here's one of mine. Not the best of shape but, hey, it used to be Lionel's so I like it a lot.

Dave, that is one fantastic quartet!

Dave - those 4 cards are sweet. I love this pose. If your quartet represents the Beatles, then my four beaters are kind of like a local garage band which has two bassists and no drummer. But I still love them!

Great cards Dave! I love color runs. Here's my E98 Dahlens.

Is there a consensus as to the general ranking of scarcity of the colors as it relates to Cobb? Same question as to the set in genera?

I don't think there is a consensus and opinions are likely anecdotal. I'd imagine it's not uniform across all players, although I don't any facts for stating that.
What is evident is the the Black Swamp Find added a significant portion of Red varieties. Here are some raw numbers from PSA and SGC. SGC doesnt subset color varieties and PSA only recently has. Lets look at 3 stars:

Ty Cobb- PSA graded 39 before differentiating, SGC has graded 52
- PSA color population: Red-1
Orange-4
Blue-5
Green-3
Black Swamp Red-18

Honus Wagner-PSA graded 31 before differentiating, SGC 72
- PSA Color population: Red-4
Orange-1
Blue-0
Green-2
Black Swamp REd-17
Black Swamp Green-18

Christy Mathewson-PSA graded 19 before differentiating, SGC 48
- PSA color population: Red-4
Orange-1
Blue-2
Green-2
Black Swamp Red-1

The numbers graded since PSA started breaking down color varieties are too small to assume the ratios are similar in their undifferentiated population ( and SGCs)
It would appear, however, if you have the cash the Red variety is most plentiful ( in general)

The Cobb has one of the best images on a card, ever. (good for avatars, too )

Great runs, Sam, Dave, and Justin!
