Boston Garter without a doubt. I have never seen that card. Is it up for auction?

Boston Garter for me, but the Cobb Tobacco would be awesome. My birthaday is in three weeks!

Both are great, but if forced to make a choice, I would go with the Boston Garter.

Can anyone think of any Ty Cobb card that might match the BG in value or desirability? I cannot.

Great card. Never saw the BG before. I guess that makes it very easy.

In Rememberance of James W. Brennan Sr. 1924-1982. Dad, thanks for everything you did for me.

Jeff:

I have the over/under on the available Boston Garter at $105K and the over/under on the available Cobb Cobb at $44K. I don't know if that affects a decision.


edited to add the words "available"

BG goes for close to $100K and the Ty Cobb back around $75K. Anyone else have an opinion on final prices?
Jeff- BG all day every day hands down!!

I voted easy decision on the Boston Garter but I would be happy to have either and either will do well at auction, in todays environment. I don't think the Cobb back (that one)will/would get to 75k....I think closer to 50k...and the BG maybe 100k....hard to tell....maybe I am way off??

I agree with Leon -- the BG for around 100 or less, and the Cobbx2 for 50-70K.

The Boston Garter should be well over $100,000. It is graded SGC 50? Didn't a Joe Jackson with some serious alterrations go for over $100,000 in Mile High not long ago. We have seen several Jacksons, and this is the first time a Cobb has been offered to the public.

If a SGC 30 Cobb back breaks $45K, that will set a record for a price for a PSA/SGC 2 level Cobb back. I think in this climate the price will be less than $45K.

Although I do not collect either one as I am only interested in the earliest issued Cobb card possible, the Boston Garter is a beautiful issue and definitely more appealing to a non-partisan collector like myself who is not looking at the $$ involved.

I'm not sure it qualifies as a "card".

Its not tobacco, candy, or, bread.

Its not nearly card-sized.


If postcards aren't cards....

Not once in this thread has anyone mentioned in which auction these are being sold! Where are they?

The BG. I think the BG will go around 200k or more.
