Is it time to ask AGAIN if T206 prices are falling?

Based on the last two auction results, it would appear as though Cobb is immune to this perceived swoon. (Sadly, as I'm also looking to buy some mid-grade Cobbs.)

REA results for t206 brown Hindus were very high, right?

I'm specifically referring to t206's, relative to t207's you are probably right I don't follow them. I guess some REA lots did go relatively high but there were exceptions and it didn't seem like there were any lots going cheaply in REA in recent memory.

What some have said appears to be accurate, pricing for many of the truly rare cards are strong, but for many of the others prices have slipped.

All the BL 350's went for very low prices. Bescher was a steal at 1200.00 fell asleep and missed it oh well

I don't have much experience dealing with AHs, but in general I notice that prices always dip in the Fall as most fans get baseball fatigue and move into football season. While many collectors don't follow the modern game, I think it still holds subconscious influence. My personal interest, and aggressiveness in buying, always surges in the spring as baseball season kicks off.

Currently on the hunt for a 2-4 Cobb myself.

Always plenty of competition for those. Those will slow down the day Goudey Ruths do.

right we are mentioning two of the most iconic cards...even when the housing bubble crashed..the waterfront properties on the ocean didn't get hit as hard......when the card market crashes and it will..the collectors will be throwing their money into those types of iconic cards....

I've had to pay about 20% more for the last couple of red Cobbs than I did for the first few. This is only in a 9 month span.

Depends on grade when the POP starts to thin out..i know I sold two PSA 4 Green cobbs and after I sold the first one...no one on net54 offered anything close for the second one that I sold the first one for
