That's a beauty, Ben.

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

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

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!

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

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,
It was a 1926 hunting photo of Cobb and his bird dog. The photo had sentimental value to the buyer as he hunted with Cobb during his childhood. I hated to let it go but it obviously it is where it belongs. He sent me a note with the payment which was very cool and signed in that familiar green ink. He recently published a book titled Heart of a Tiger which is about growing up with Cobb. I haven't read it yet but plan on doing so in the near future.

I won the Watermans album with the Bobby Jones autograph for a good price, otherwise I got shot down.

Scott, I owned that cabinet once upon a time, I think around 2007 and sold it to a board member.

Ben, that is the nastiest base I have ever seen that Cobb is sliding into.

Agreed! Is that a base, or a piece of sod with a belt under it?! Awesome photo either way.
