Which sentence did I end with a preposition? I can't find it.

Oh, you mean the sentence in the article. I didn't say exactly that- I spoke with the guy for fifteen minutes and that's all he came up with.....I said smarter things than that to him.

So, Barry, you're saying you were just being smart with a reporter?

That's usually not a good thing.

I was being careful with my words.

2k might get you a card in good condition., not near mint though... It's fun to wish, I'll be right there with you at that price! Heritage already announced that they will be selling these cards over the next few years to 'not flood the market'

22 Cobbs is a lot, but not enough to bring the cards down 90% imo

I will guess a Cobb in a 9 holder will still be all of 5k or more....even with 16 of them.

5K for a Cobb in a 9 holder?? I'll take every one of them right now! It will never happen.

A PSA 4 just sold on eBay for 4.5k, even with 16 in a 9 holder I'd be shocked at any of them selling for anywhere near 5k. These cards appear to have amazing provenance. With no real fear of alteration and the staggered sale, I'd say the nines are possibly worth closer to double that.

This is a collection with great stuff and pedestrian stuff. The hundreds and hundreds of commons in PSA 7 are going to be really cheap, no question. But PSA 9 Cobbs won't be, and I think if you buy something like that and hold onto it for a few years, you are going to do really well with it. We are taliking about Ty Cobb here.

Aren't there high grade whales out there that avoid sets like this due to the lack of cards that fit their standards? I really have no clue, but if there are, this could bring them out.

One thing I just noticed, Heritage is only offering 3 lots in the first offering. No graded 9 Cobb, no commons.

I hope commons are cheap. I would love to get my hands on one of those McLeans in a 7 holder.

Leon- I bet the first PSA 9 Cobb out of the block goes for 20K or more....but it's also possible with each subsequent one offered, the price may go down.

I think there are going to be some great opportunities in this collection. The collectors who can buy the best cards and hold onto them for a number of years will do very well. On the other hand, the dealers who buy these on Monday and have them on ebay on Tuesday will not.

maybe 10k -20k ea....we won't know till they are sold. In a few conversations with some folks in the last few days we were thinking more in the 10k range but maybe that is even low, I was just being wishful .

How about one of the 46 Wagner's? Would ~2K be able to get a 7 there? There are also 44 Cy Young's? Mebbe 1.5K for a 7? Still wishful thinking?
