Just when I think your run can't get any better... I hope Victory will soon be yours.

Jamie, I just couldn't resist checking the pop reports - I see that there are three T214 Victory - Cobbs in the combined reports (hopefully, none are crossovers), which gives me confidence that you will obtain one. And, hopefully, you already know where one or more of them reside.

I'm just in awe of what I am looking at. Absolutely fantastic. This would be HOF worthy if it were just a common player, but Cobb? Just... wow.

Congrats Jamie! Unreal pickup!
For anyone who hasn't read it, I interviewed Jamie for an article about his Cobb run back in February. It was a lot of fun to learn more about how he put the collection together. http://www.thatt206life.com/2017/02/02/the-greatest-t206-back-run-ever-assembled-ty-cobb-red-background-portrait/

That's just incredible Jamie. I'm really happy for you. It's also making me realize I need to step my game up. I'm sure a Victory will show up at some point. It's just a waiting game now.

Forgive me if this has already been covered, but what makes the T214 so tough (besides the insane prices it demands)? Are those cards ridiculously more scarce than the other Cobbs you have? Or is it all about finding one at the right price?

Hello Everyone...
It has been 3 years since I have been able to update this thread... I have a very exciting and somewhat historic announcement... After years and years of searching... and thanks to another Board member I have finally secured the T214 Victory Red Cobb! This was the last Cobb needed to complete the entire Tobacco run of Red Cobbs! All 30 of 30 possible now reside in the same collection.. To date I believe this is the first time these Cobbs have ever been assembled in the same collection. I also believe at 30 different backs, this is the largest backrun ever put together. It has been a 9 Year Journey starting back in 2011 with the Cobb Drum... Plugging away over the next few years I was able to acquire more Cobbs.. ones that I thought I never would find... the Red Hindu, the Broad Leaf 460, the T213 Type 3 Overprint... the final 2 ended up being the Cobb Back, and the Victory.. I was drawn to the allure of the Lucky 7 find, and was thrilled when another collector helped me secure one of the Lucky 7 (in my humble opinion the nicest 2.5 of the bunch).. that was roughly 3 years ago.... from then until now... high and low I searched for a T214 Victory... I believe there are only 2 confirmed examples.. (I was told the PSA 2 listed on the pop report was crossed to one of the SGC 2s)... Very excited to add this to my collection.. it was my white whale... and now what seemed impossible 9 years ago.. has finally been realized today... Some fun stats about the different backs... the T213 type 3 overprint is the only 1 of 1 left (after the discovery of the 2nd BL460).... there are only 2 BL460s, 4 Drums, 2 Victorys.. 2 blank backs.. the Sov 460 is incredibly difficult... as is the Red Hindu, and type 1 coupon... The T213-2 Cobb in this run is the 2nd highest graded example... Luke did a really nice article about the run (posted earlier in this thread) if anyone has interest in more details about the assembling of the cards... This has taken countless hours of online searches.. hunting at National card shows every year..... networking with other board members... I can say with 100% certainty without this forum I would have never been able to complete this back run.. Thank you to everyone who assisted me.. and a special thanks to my close friends Chris, JV, Mike S, Ryan, Luke, Bryan L, Sonny and Sean C. You are looking at 9 years of a mans collecting life below... I included a small picture so you can hopefully see all cards without scrolling.. and a larger image for better clarity on each cards condition... All grades are listed above the cards in Red... My hope one day is to have this displayed in the Hall of Fame for others to enjoy.... (if I would be lucky enough to have them consider displaying it) I present the first ever complete Ty Cobb Red Portrait Tobacco Back Run...

It doesnt get any better than that right there.
Legendary run Jamie! I have enjoyed watching you acquire these over the years, from the Drum, to somehow scoring the Hindu to finally getting the T214. Good for you!

This is flat out incredible. Read through this entire thread today. I'm overjoyed you were able to accomplish your collecting goal! I'm afraid to ask what's next!
Personally I would love to see this in the Hall of Fame, I think it should deserve a nice display in the Shoebox Treasures section of the Hall! |

Amazing, Jamie! Congrats! I’ve gone back to read Luke’s article a number of times just to hear the story again. Love to see that it’s now complete.
I’ve gained more appreciation for this over the years as I’ve struggled to complete even a single player run of 6-10 cards.
