If i am not mistaken, that means its scarcity order should drop to number 2.

Wow! Too bad my great granddad's tobacco habit didn't leave anything except a lot of Velvet tins behind.

What a great find. Would like to see larger scans of these, the centering
and registration look really nice on most of these. It's interesting how different
the colors on the uniforms are and how the D's are dark on four of them
and light on the other three,

How could it be that seven were found together? Guy must have worked at the factory or had some kind of connection. Otherwise, how else could this be possible?

Lots in one place. No commons? No other backs? No other series? Hmm

Default maybe there is a stack of Wagners to be found also

in some attic, if 7 Cobb backs can be found in a group. Mind boggling to be sure.

Default Awesome find

I believe a nice sized grouping of them was also found in either the late 1980s or early 1990s as i remember seeing them at the old Willow Grove show. Somewhere around 7-9 if i remember correctly.

WOW...7 more cobb/cobbs!!!!! And the second time a rather large group and found all together... Lends itself to the theory that these may have been issued in some type of tobacco product...who knows.

You just have to wonder if not for the lore surrounding this card... If it would be as valuable today despite its relative commonality compared to many other issues ?

They say a picture's worth a thousand words.

Wow.

A picture of cards they say are worth a cool million.

I wonder (like I would know) if they'll bring any more than that.

This is awesome. But I think the hobby needs to retire the "find craze" it's run itself into lately. Lucky 7 find just sounds silly. And to see it on the flip is weird.
