SOrry if i bid you up on the 1916 Red Sox program. I saw the back and it showed Ruth smack in the middle. Had no idea it go for 900.
As for the Cobb guy, glad you got your 1st, i had no intent to discredit how the front did look, despite the spots. It did deserve that price paid. What made you decide to pick that pose? and not the portraits?
I am doing a 4 cobb run, and i picked up the Red first, because i like his pose, and saved up a bit to afford a nice green one, i showed recently above. Now i working on the bat on/off versions. Trying to decide to do a all 'raw' showcase or not.

I was going to bid on a few items until I saw the buyers premium and decided the prices were not as good as I thought. If the BP was about half of what it is I would have easily tried to spend my money.

Depending on the condition the program is worth $1,500 and up.

No problem! I thought it was funny because I debated that last bid which I felt was the breaking point on the piece.

Cobb bat on is my LEAST favorite of the Cobb T206 cards. But the front of that card is so darn good for a 10. I've held off buying the 4 Cobbs but am close to the end....this one just seemed to be the one I wanted for this pose.

Red pose is my favorite.....now if only I can find it in a low grade EPDG I would probably donate a kidney.

Received my cards today. Really quick shipping and was a lot smoother process then I had anticipated. Wish I would have bid on some of their earlier auctions now!

Am hoping mine arrives soon. Paid within 10 minutes of getting invoice. They seem very accommodating there. I have won something in each of their last two auctions and will make sure they stay on my radar.

Did they send a confirmation number from FedEx? I paid immediately too but never got a shipping number....

[LKeeler]

Jeff, I only remember getting a confirmation that my payment went through, nothing about shipping. I paid the 21st so it must have shipped immediately to get from Maine to Wyoming this quickly, with a holiday thrown in to boot.

Thanks Luke.....would be nice if today!
