Red portrait Cobb is the most common T206, according to a census that was done a few years ago. It's one of the six "super-prints" that appeared in all three series (150, 350, 460).

If you run across a red Cobb nicely centered with bold color and perfect registration, don't pass it up. A common card but tricky to find with nice qualities. Good luck on your hunt!

I have hovered over a lot of PSA 2 Red Cobbs with good qualities and some bad. It's on my short list for sure.

+1 Some cards are very common in regular grade and dimensions. And then there are some you can never find centered, focused or whatever. There are literally an unlimited amount of ways to collect. I echo everyone's sentiments in, take some time to find what YOU really enjoy and go that route. It's the best one. Just because 50s rookies are hot doesn't mean you HAVE to collect them. (although I think it could be fun )
