E102 cobb

[JoeyF1981]

Been looking for awhile for a nice low grade e101 or e102 ty cobb but they never seem to come up for sale. Always loved the look of that card. Where there not many made of these?

I don't think the E101/E102 Cobbs were produced any less than others in the series, they are just collected more. The bat-leaning varieties are always collector favorites. As a matter of fact one of the first expensive (to me) cards I ever bought was an E102 Cobby from John Spencer. He and Mike Williams created this forum's predecessor, back in 1998..

They seem to very scarce and rarely come up for sale. Ive always loved the look of that card. I had a very nice psa 1 back in the day and regret selling it. What grade was yours?

I bought it raw and it graded an SGC30. I sold it a long time ago when I quit doing the rookie card thing. For years the E102 Cobb was considered one of his rookie cards. Now I still have a Cobb-leaning pose but in a much more rare series..It is graded a 2 (I thought it was a 1)

That one is a beauty Scott. I love this pose too. I have it from the E105 Mello Mint series which I believe may be among the toughest, along with Leon's above. To my knowledge there are only 4 or 5 examples of the E105.

I bought this E101 a year or so ago and love the pose, which really just seems to pop from the card.

I'm only a sample size of one collector, but the great image is why I want to hold onto mine, much more so than even other Cobb cards, because of the image...

That Cobb is one of my favorite Mello Mint poses.

(Not my card... yet):

One of my 2014 goals is to land an e101/e102 or e92 Cobby, so I'm right there with you. They do pop up from time to time. Just gotta be patient.

Leon - Love that Kotton Cobb. I've spent many moments drooling over it.

Jim, that's just absolutely gorgeous. I hope to own one someday. This is a great thread.
