2 1 15749988 POOR 1 1910 E98 SET OF 30 TY COBB Just graded today, PSA 1

The card does not have a single crease and looks like a 4-5 on the front, it is OC lr but it is also over sized. What do you think the current value for this would be?
Thanks Guys

any thoughts? VCP or anything?

A card like that is a bit difficult to put a value on, especially in this market. The last VCP prices, on a 1, were approx $550, 3 years ago and $1050?, 2 years ago. The only 2 SGC10's are $1390 and $1150 respectively, both within the last year or year and a half. This is a crappy economy though, so who knows. If it were on ebay in the correct category I could see it going for a wide spread. Maybe $700 on the low end and $1200 on the high end...but those are just semi-educated guesses...regards

thanks leon. So do you think I should hold it for 3 years or so?

From purely an investment standpoint, if you can afford to do so, that's probably not a bad idea. As a collector, you'd have to decide if you'd rather own something else during that time span.

Great card for a collector! I'll agree with Leon, the card should do $700+ on any given day on eBay. Good luck!

Thanks guys, I think I may hold it for a few years bc of the economy. But like yall said I would trade it for something else if needed.

my guess...$800-$1000. if you're planning to wait 3-4 years because you think it'd dramatically increase in value (like 50%), don't hold your breath imo. back in '06 caramel cobbs might be thought of as semi "tough"...that's no longer the case.

if you're a collector and enjoy the card, great...if you want to invest (heh) i'd rather put the 1k in a nice VG+ t206 cobb as the monster will always be popular with new collectors.
