hello everyone

i have some questions concerning the W555 Ty Cobb card.

just how scarce is this Cobb card ?

would you say its Cobbs rarest 07/09 card ?

A 1907 or 1909 ? ( i think i saw someone list it as a 1921 ) ??

if it was a strip card, as a full uncut strip been found ??

psa pop. report shows 1 has been graded a psa-1. SGC pop. shows 4 graded.

well that should be enough for now !!

thanks, lee

The Rube Waddell was just auctioned on ebay and it lists Rube with the Browns. That should put the set at 1909 or later.

hi all

considering the lack of responses to my W555 questions, i must think that
this issue and the ty cobb card are obscure.

hal, can you add or supply any addtional info ?

i see the w555 made your cobb rookie card list !

your friend, lee

Not real popular because of the very small size and uneven hand cut edges:

hi all

thank you hal. i agree, its not as pretty as the hundreds or maybe thousands
of t206 cobb cards out there.

geez, i think levi ( 707 ) himself as that many !!

its a nasty little handcut strip card. its a bastard child. no one knows where it came from.

But let it be known through out the kingdom,,, I WILL BUY THESE NASTY, UGLY
LITTLE TY COBB CARDS FROM WHOMEVER WISHES TO SELL !! ( no joke )
