Did I really need that? :)

Leon,


That's a really nice Cobb S74. It's also a color I don't recall ever seeing!

Enjoy,


Patrick

Thanks Patrick. I think most of us that are truly addicted have probably run into this before. The guy with his hand out, giving you another hit off the proverbial crack pipe. Man, I hate paying someone's asking price but the guy wasn't budging. I justified it as I don't have another color S74 that is a regular silk (I have two color ones that are miscuts) but I sure hated paying that sticker. In looking around I didn't see any of that particular color on the internet, though I am sure some exist. It is in really nice condition too. Had it not been for those factors I wouldn't have pulled the trigger. Oh yeah, and it's Cobb, who is always good to collect .

Leon,

sometimes you have to just pull the trigger the way you did.....how often will you see another??

When it arrives , that will solidify your decision.....your a true type collector, and a piece like that belongs in your collection....kudos on a beauty in almost unseen condition.....

Leon,

Look at it this way. You made someone happy.

[ullmandds]

only u can answer that question...but the consensus seems to be...YES!!!!

It's Cobb, it's pre-WWI, you wanted it, he got his price. Everyone's happy!

I don't think there's a person in here who hasn't bought something they didn't need. If that was your boondoggle, It's a beautiful one.
