Great pick-ups on the Cobbs, Dan. Congrats!

Dan,

I've never seen that Detroit Steel Tube PC before. What a great image. At 21, Cobb already looks like a mean dude. In that pic, he looks just like Steve McQueen, who would have been the perfect person to play Cobb on film.

Thank You everyone! I am very happy with the ending prices as I thought I was going to have to pay more for them,

When I 1st saw the image on that Detroit Steel Tube, I had to have it. Its such a great image (one that I've never seen before) from early on in his career and the fact that its rare made it even more intriguing.

You beat me on the Cobb signed rookie, congrats!
Just curious, how high would you have gone

[ullmandds]

I forgot about the auction or I'd have bid on that dietsche signed cobb...honestly I'd have thought it'd sell closer to 8-10K?!

Then I am glad I did not bid you up - I was sorry I did not match your bid
Enjoy the card!

I forgot to bid the first night--too many other irons in the fire. Missed a couple of items I'd have gone after for a lot more. Their multiple-closing, multiple-format, many-rules set up has gotten out of hand but seemed to work to my advantage yesterday as I picked up a lot at its opening bid during the live session [my placeholder bid held], which I really did not expect. A pair of Wood imperial sized cabinets from 1897 of Fitzsimmons and Corbett:

[Jaybird]

very cool cabinets. Great images.

Nice Adam don't see those sizes every day. Good price too.

The good news on these is that the crud on the top and bottom of the Corbett cabinet was the remnants of an old mat, not chunks out of the cabinet itself, and it fell off when I pulled the card out of the holder. It actually looks a lot better. I will need to send it to a paper conservation expert to have it de-acidified and buffered for the long term I think.

Dan, that's the best prewar signed card I've ever seen.

[sycks22]

I got swamped

[brass_rat]

I picked up the M116 blue set...was glad to get it, but had to go higher than I thought...anyways, I love these cards!

Great looking set Steve. Those cards look awesome.
The website says that you are proactively accepting offers to sell it? I buy lots to resell and have no issue with that but was your initial intention, to flip it? Once again, no issue at all.....just curious. (and did I mention that is one heckuva beautiful subset?)

[Runscott]

I have three strong bids in tonight - hopefully I can do some boasting in the morning.

Good luck to everyone....except those of you who are bidding against me. May you drink too much tonight, or get caught up watching re-runs.

[Marckus99]

Dan -

That Seamless Cobb PC is probably the best card/pc ever made!!!

Absolutely incredbile!!!!

Thanks, Leon...I can't wait to get it home!

I have no intentions of selling or flipping...Heritage just has a feature that automatically turns on the "allow anonymous offers" which I just turned on for the heck of it...figured it doesn't hurt anything to have it on...in fact, if I ever bought a card that people were curious about, I like the idea that they could contact me without knowing who I am. (There are multiple cards that I wasn't to track down from auctions years ago, but I don't know how to do it.)

(I wanted to post a picture instead of a link, but I'm on my phone and i can't upload a picture in the post from my phone...)

Have a good one,
Steve
