sure...anything's possible...but realistically it's more likely 7 cobbs would be found based on distribution and star factor...than an obscure variation of an avg player!

Did Mrs. Doyle consider little Joe an obscure variation of an average child? I think not.

Especially if those Cobbs were never distributed in packs or tins , but were given out as a promotional item.

I can't be sure of course, but I find it really curious that two finds account for more than half of the known examples of this card.

Just an FYI - I would not have known of this auction if it wasn't for this post. I have registered, saved several items and have even placed a bid already. I look forward to the conclusion.

Thank you for putting this here. Just thought you should know that this bit of advertising worked.

People don't know what they have. Good for this person.

Anyone else find it odd that at least a few cards in this auction seem to have a "provenance" saying that the card came from the consigner's grandfather?? On eBay, would that not be a red flag for a scam???

AH+provenance=GOOD

Ebay+provenance=usually BS made up story=BAD

Did the buyer get a good deal?
