Kinda bummed these are being sold privately. I would've enjoyed watching those auctions.

The same seller has all 7, or 5 now, and is selling them privately.

Yes true, whether or not they all do sell privately has yet to be determined. I'd like to see one or two end up in an auction.

I would imagine that the sale of two would bring in enough money that the sellers don't need to be in a hurry to sell the other 5. If they sold the 1.5 and a 2.5, they still hold the 2 highest graded Cobbs and 5 of the 7 highest graded. They can afford to sit on them until a buyer meets their price.

I just posted something similar in the poll thread but wanted to include it here as well. As far as I know, the Ty Cobb with the Cobb back a glossy card (save for one: http://www.t206museum.com/page/cardweek_5.html).

It might be that Ted is arguing the the standard, no-gloss portrait is in the 524 and the glossy portrait is #525 because of the gloss and not because of the back.

The lucky 7 find is amazing! The PSA 4.5 and 3.5 Cobb's will surely sell for a huge amount.

I'm guessing that a couple of them will come to market in the next few years.

Amazing find, amazing cards. Now if i just had $$$$
This find along with the "Black Swamp" find are what dreams are made of for the collector in us.
Would have loved to hold one before they got slabbed

Every time I see the description of this "find", I crack up at the comment that the cards were found in "Great Grandpa's old bag", and think, You really shouldn't talk about Great Grandma like that!

Are you saying the Black Swamp Find and the seven Ty Cobb cards are fakes?

I don't know that every one understands the magnitude of this find. I have said in the past that I thought Cobb backs were as scarce as Wagner's. Can you imagine coming across 7 Wagners? When I first heard about this, I was extremely skeptical. Now, it appears to be the real deal. I don't think it's going to lower the value of these cards. I will add this though, are all 7 cards very comparable in centering and size? They appeared to be from PSA's post....

Scarcity in my mind is relative to the possibility.

First, I believe this is a massive find. But if there is a card that this could happen, the Ty Cobb back is one that makes the most sense.

Since it would be the only card added to the tin, Uncle Joe going to town on Ty Cobb Tobacco would have pulled out one of these with each tin bought.

Can't say that about a Wagner. He would be competing with hundreds of other players with every pull from a cig pack.
