Default Which Cobb would be a better investment

Assuming both cards are centered, relatively clean and grade about EX...my kids will own these eventually; assuming I don't outlive my money
T205 or E95
Reason I ask is...I'm clearing room for a card and one of my Cobbs may have to go...I have owned these for awhile and I'm a bit out of touch on how desirable each is. I simply have not followed the vintage card market very much.

Don't you wish sometimes that money DID grow on trees?

My vote is the T205. You can't go wrong with either.

Probably T205, but either one is a great card likely to continue appreciation (and being appreciated) in the future.

Another vote for T205. One of the most beautiful cards ever made.

E95 — when in doubt pick the one that has a neck, and isn’t a floating, bloated face, with his eyes too close together.

Never liked the T205s much. Sometimes they get it right (Mathewson), but there are so many poorly thought out examples.
