What do y'all think of this Green Cobb?

[1952boyntoncollector]

its a 4 its going to have some issues of course..but for its grade it looks really good....green cobb hasn't been available in a 4 in awhile...I don't think the next one will go for as much..plus you walking 500+ is pp/ebay fees.

Centering is off top to bottom plus a little left to right but great color and registration---a very nice 4 I think it fell in the right price range---toughest Cobb to get of the 4 T206's.

a quck check of cardtarget shows last 3 ebay auctions are 2800-3300 (since march 2014) the other cobb poses go for less...didn't check what the cards looked like but this card does look like top dollar was paid....

He also auctioned off a Cobb in a red portrait PSA 4 that had a crease about a half inch long on the front right side of the card that sold for just under $2K.

I followed it Pete, and loved the card but waaaaaaay too strong a price, IMO.

I assume whoever bought it, might crack it and submit to SGC hoping for a 60/5?

I think you might be right on the light crease by the head, or at least a light scratch, tough to tell. There also appears to be a light smudge (maybe the scan though) on his left check (the right side of the card).

why not ask the seller for higher res scans?

The last 2 sold for 3200 and 3360. The one before that sold for 2800 is noticeably worse. I think the centering and top 2 corners will keep it from being a 5. He could send it to SCG and maybe get a bump to 4.5/55, but I don't see it being worth more than 3500-4000.

right you would think could do a direct deal in the mid 3000s at least...that a 1000 dollar difference on a card worth under 5000....sgc 4.5s aren't really valued at auction more than psa 4s .plus half grades don't occur often I would never count on getting a half grade .

I have been buying a lot of cards lately and you have to pay the prices if you want good stuff---I just purchased a T206 Green Cobb SGC 60 yesterday---I paid around $37-3800 since it was a package deal Also got a SGC 70 Red Cobb in the deal $6500 for the pair---I know we would all like to get cards at lower prices, but it just isn't happening---Most buying now is auction houses, shows, Collectors selling out---And if you are buying, stuff is not cheap. Thanks and lets keep buying.

Sure everyone would love to acquire the cards they want at "lower" prices.

That is not the issue here...the issue is the "correct" prices...if there is such a thing.

You're examples are case in point...you paid significantly less for much higher grade...even though a package deal...2 card package isn't really a big package!
