PSA 9 1932 Caramel Ty Cobb SMR or Below

[Bosox Blair]

Couple data points for the discussion:

According to the PSA pop report only 3 of these have graded 9 (none higher).

In 2010 an SGC 92 (8.5) sold at auction for $13,440.00.

The PSA Registry shows 16 sets of these. Only the #1 set has a PSA 9 Cobb. The #2 set (Marshall Fogel's) has a PSA 8 Cobb.

Obviously Don wants to offer the card for sale himself. But in terms of market value, I think if this card was put into an auction where the PSA Registry guys bid, it might really go high.

Thanks guys for the great comments and observations---I think the card should go around SMR---I just have to find the heavy hitter who can afford it---I know a large auction house would go well, but I do prefer it sell it myself especially with the National approaching. thanks again and I look forward to more comments.

If it has not sold by the National, leave it on consignment at the table of one of the big dealers who does a lot of that kind of stuff.

A spectacular card, but slightly overgraded due to the soft upper right corner and the staining on the reverse. I doubt it would fetch SMR in any sales format.

I noticed the stain, you'd think PSA would notice that as well.

Yes it's a very generous grade, but remember there are a lot of number collectors out there - so at the end of the day it might not matter.
