"Lucky 7" find - Cobb with Cobb back

[1952boyntoncollector]

the 'cheaper' ones always sell first...

however the fact the cards got bought in a pocket listing as it were versus a MLS listing means to me that there is still more added value again for these waterside property cards..

we are sure to see some of these cards that were bought to be listed with Heritage etc and get a bigger price as everyone will get a chance to get off the sidelines and bid.. ....the issue will be if the same card bought at auction is then listed again, will it go for higher.... but for the first public auction its pretty safe to say the buyers will make a nice profit..

funny how POP goes up and value goes up...

If those three sold for over a mil that's basically half the price of the equivalent graded t206 Wagners. So what would you guys rather have? 2 Cobb backs or 1 Wagner of the same grade?

2 Cobb backs...one to sell, and add whatever I want, and one to keep.

As a convicted burglar once told me, "Rich people have two of everything. One for them, and one for me."

Can't go wrong either way, but this is the answer I thought to myself as I wrote the question.

It is counter intuitive to basic economics until you bring in supply/demand. I would wager that these rarely go up for sale until recently. That makes prices stuck on old sales. Now that a few are getting gobbled up, it both updates the pricing and shows that even w 7 new ones the market is still wildly under supplied .

Considering the quality of the 2.5's and above. It is not surprising if you have the $$$ you would want one of these beauties in your collection. Most of the ones before are beaten up and have creases.

Just saw a tweet from Joe O over at PSA, that the PSA 4.5 Cobb/Cobb was sold today.

Any word on what it went for? I heard the asking price was 2 mil for that one.

It seems the consignor has done pretty well so far, although I have to wonder what would have happen if a couple, or all of them had ended up at a major AH.

not a question of if they go to a major AH, its when, and im sure several will be at the National....
