I would really like to add a Cobb to my collection. I unfortunately missed the train on his t206 portrait cards as I know they've all shot up in value. I know the definition of "affordable" depends on your budget, is there anything under 1K of his that's worth owning? If Not I guess I'll save up.

Under 1k you're pretty much limited to the oddball stuff. T201 is an option if you like those, he's on the back though. Maybe the 1914 Polo Grounds card. You've got a few different issues in the 20s along with strip cards, but the strip cards mostly look pretty ugly. If you're willing to deviate from a card, there are people that like the B18s or the Sweet Cap pins/discs. Just a few ideas, I'm sure there are others.

A few years after his retirement, but the 1933 Goudey Sport Kings is a really nice looking one that even a Good conditioned card would present well.

The Polo Grounds and National Game Cards from 1913 are nice. You could also look into memorabilia. There are some nice notebook covers.

Thanks for the responses gentlemen, I might go the route and save up a little bit more, The t202 option looks appealing though. I have a slight fear that prices might climb again but here's to hoping I'm wrong.

In my opinion, there are plenty of options for Cobb cards under $1000. If you want a really early card you can likely pick up a rookie team card for under 1000 if you look carefully. Higher grade game cards can be acquired as well… To me these are underappreciated and have room to grow. Strip cards, exhibit cards, sport kings as mentioned.

T202 Cobb cards would be your best bet. It is a really underated and beautiful set.
