1907 W600 Cobb

[ls7plus]

The 1907 W600 Ty Cobb, graded PSA VG in the recent Mile High auction, just went for almost $56,000, with buyer's premium. The combined PSA and SGC pop reports total just 3, per Brian. His lot description also contends that as few as 5-6 exist, although other estimates of 10 or more may also be realistic. Since these cards were originally sold individually upon fan request, the great players of the day were more commonly requested than the commons (pun intended). This was the year of Cobb's first batting title, at .350. Given that fact, and the notation on the back of both the 1907 Dietsche Batting and Fielding Position Cobbs that old Tyrus is "recognized all over the country as one of the most sensational players the game has ever had..." etc., what do you dedicated Cobb collectors out there think of Brian's estimates as to how many exist? Wouldn't there have been quite a few requests for Cobb from Sporting Life by the time the card was available? Any opinions as to raw copies still out there?

This Cobb fan thanks you for your thoughts.

Sincerely,

Larry
