SGC 1.5 Old Mill red Cobb with iconic back-stamp--What's it worth?--

[dougscats]

I was looking to trade my Cobb for an E92 Wagner, which is no longer available for trade. I'm not really looking to move it.

I got three replies regarding it's value:

1. [First evaluation was $3.5K] "$4k might be a better guess since your card presents very well…."

2. "I think overall it presents well, just need the right buyer who doesn’t mind the stamp.
[Messenger 2 compared this Cobb to another at an attractive price, but I don't want to specify, not to identify him or give away his information].

3. "I'd say yours is at least 4000, maybe 4500 to the right buyer."

I think those are all good estimates. ButI do collect back-stamps myself, and I value it more than that.
The pointing finger is my favorite stamp, and to me the stamp adds to, not detracts from the value. I fully realize that many collectors don't feel the same way. So that's why I'm keeping it.

I did get a couple of other pm's from people interested in buying/trading for it. I won't rule out selling it or trading it for a bigger/more desirable card. But I likely over-value it. As [3] above says, it would have to be to the right buyer.

Thanks for the interest and the input.
