Rare AND Obscure
The Cobb/Cobb discovery thread got me to thinking about how many cards are out there that are really rare but obscure to the point where they are nothing close to the value of a Cobb/Cobb, a 52 #311 Mantle, etc. What is it about an issue of a first-rate HOFer that makes it a marquee card as compared to another rarity of the same guy?
I don't know the answer to this. I wish I did, because I have always been drawn to collecting non-mainstream cards. Sometimes they prove to be very good investments, other times not so much. I know that I enjoy them but I have no clue as to whether this Ruth or that Cobb will face a soaring demand some time down the line relative to another.
