"Lucky 7" find - Cobb with Cobb back

[Pat R]

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

[ashes13]

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

only possible card with that back not as odd as finding 7 drum back cobbs together and like i posted above not the first time a grouping of this rarity was found together.

+1. What an incredible find!

Best wishes,

makes sense you'd find a grouping together as many of us have our own weird fetishes with certain cards. I know one guy who wants to corner the market on CJ Frank LaPorte's!

[glynparson]

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 ?

[glynparson]

It would all most definitely be considerably cheaper without carrying the T206 designation. Even if one believes it is warranted or not.

[Topps206]

That is some unbelievable luck.

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.

"Lucky 7" sounds like the name of a slot machine.

Edited to add: Leon, you should buy all of these and change it to the "Luckey 7". That I would be OK with.

I wish I could afford even 1 of them. I guess the story is big, I just saw it on the Good Morning America tv show. They said the 7 would bring conservatively 1M. Another collector and myself thought about an estimate of 2M for the group.....who knows.

what could you possibly be skeptical about????? PSA...the most respected name in the hobby...authenticated them.

Seriously...they are real,,,and this kinda thing happens!

I'm more skeptical of there being only "2" or a "handful" of cards known. I mean who would make the effort to only print a few of an item???

[scotgreb]

Anyone else notice they are all half grades?

Trust me, you're not the only one.

I wonder if the cards were found by these 2 guys...
