I could not resist...too dynamic, large and early to pass up. It is gorgeous and showcases Cobb's grit and intensity imo. Look at him attack/destroy that dirt and base! ha!

[Shoeless Moe]

As for me about 2 weeks ago I had $26,000 in placed leading/winning bids, about $24/25K more than I could afford, but figured I hang on to win one.

Got nothing tonight.

Still in play for 2 tomorrow night

In the original box, only one known to exist in the box.

That's a beauty, Ben.

Scott, I bowed out on the 1907 Detroit photo as well, it is gorgeous!!

[BigJJ]

Scott, great photo. Reminds me of the California Milk Producers commercial on TV, "Happy Cows come from California". Happy baseball players too! Great bib front jerseys. Ben the Cobb photo is awesome

[bcbgcbrcb]

Thrilled to have finally picked up this "beauty"...........

[Runscott]

Phil, that's a H-U-G-E piece. I throw a bid in each time it comes up, but I never come close. Great pick-up.

It's a tradition now for Ben to unknowingly knock me into second on a big piece. Cobb slid right out of my grasp. I feel like I got kicked in the bag.

Greg, I don't mean to be a bubble burster at all, and this one that ended yesterday

http://www.ebay.com/itm/193-lou-gehr...p2047675.l2557

is not in the one you gots league, obviously 'cuz of the missing box, but I too had not seen another one of these and then 2 end 2 days apart, crazy.


SORRY LATE ADDITION - I READ, OR RATHER I MIS-READ YOUR ORIGINAL POST. I AT FIRST THOUGHT YOU WROTE THE ONLY ONE, BUT NOW SEE "ONLY ONE WITH IT'S BOX", WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS KEY....GREAT PICKUP!!! DON'T LET YOUR KIDS PLAY WITH IT.

Great pickup, Ben! Cobb's La Azora card (sliding) is based on that photo: Link

BONUS!!! I just love the image but this surely doesn't hurt the value. Being a card guy as a kid and having a weird, freaky memory for images(probably a curse), I am surprised I didn't recognize this.. then again... maybe I did subconsciously.. moo hoo hoo ha ha ha

Thanks Buddy! Made my day!

Scott... we are even now..as far as I know.. this is a first?? You beat me on some autos in the past I know

Paul,
I won the the one on ebay. I was waiting to get to post it as a pick up, but, as you noted, it doesn't have the box. I'm very happy with the one I got, at least until a better condition example comes along that is reasonably priced.

Greg,
Yours looks like it's in spectacular condition. Congrats.
Please post a picture of the front of the box once you get it.

Best,
Mark

Thanks Paul and Mark,

I am OK with paying what I did, as it is from Mark Cooper's collection and you really rarely see these come up for sale. I will be glad to post the box lid Mark when I receive it.

Congrats on yours, too. For that price, I would have paid that for 1/2 the game

I bowed out on the 1907 Tiger as well sigh, I did pick up two Wingfields at a great price

Mark see if Greg will sell you the box.....just kidding.....I would have been in on the bidding, but I maxed out my spending for the week the day b4....nice p/u indeed!

[pawpawdiv9]

I loved that Cobb piece, I place some early bids on it myself , having no idea what it would fetch.
NICE!!!

[Forever Young]

Thanks guys... Mike, that is cool you had a transaction with Cobb's Grandson. What photo was it?

Bob.. CLASSIC Wingfields.. very nice.

Greg.. your pickups are fantastic. Congrats to you both.

Ben,
Simply Stunning!!!!!!
Congrats. I don't buy a lot of pictures that don't include Gehrig, but that one would definitely be on the list of ones I would consider.
I think it would look incredible in Kreindlercolor.

Mark

Ben,
That's an amazing shot it is easily one of my favorites in your collection. Congratulations on adding to your museum. I need to obtain another Cobb as Isold my only Cobb image to his Grandson last week.
