"Coming Champs 1908. Mark my word."

Spoken like a true fan.
FWIW they lost to the Cubs again in 1908.

I actually think this went for a pretty high price; the card is as beat up as one can be -- but it is arguably the earliest Cobb card and still very rare.

Under-bidder.

Thought the price was reasonable, I don't value condition much though.

I won it. It certainly has its condition problems, but collectors seem to be a little more lenient with postcards. AFAIK it is Cobb's first "card" and from my count, only a half dozen or so are out there.

Congrats kevin! To me the condition doesn't matter that much for such an important card. Nice early image of Cobby. Congrats again.

This is the first one I've ever seen on ebay and will surely be the last. I'm actually stunned it didn't end up at an auction house. Obviously the seller had not a clue with what he had.

Jeff, out of curiosity what do you think it would have brought at an AH??

More, for sure. It's such an incredibly rare and desired card due to the first Cobb appearance on a 'card.' And I believe this is the third one in the past five years which I've seen for sale at an auction either raw or graded. Kevin can confirm this. As for the price, this card wasn't in the right place and it was obviously mislabeled. I was surprised it went as high as it did solely because I didn't think so many people who knew what it was bid on it. I don't know how you guys never seem to miss a card no matter where it is misplaced.

Glad that you won it, Kevin. Congrats!

I owned one of these at one time in nice condition, traded it for a W601 Detroit premium from 1905 plus some cash, amounted to a total of about $3,500 by my count.

No, he had no clue. He thought that the Boston AL PC would sell for more than the Detroit.
