Lucky Seven plus One

Pretty cool that they will keep the last one in the family. Great decision.

Until they get an offer they can’t refuse...

I hope they have a stack of them. Very smart how they have marketed them. Reveal 7(now 8) and create a buzz in the hobby about the find and just enough cards to quickly get absorbed by deep pocketed collectors. Then trickle out a few here and there to keep prices high. They have no obligation to anyone to make public how many they actually have. The Black Swamp Find was handled all wrong from the stand point of maximizing profits.

The Black Swamp find family wasn't most concerned about profits. They didn't want to hurt the hobby, or any collectors, by doling them out over time. They were transparent in the process. If this Lucky 7 family has a stack in the back room then the game changes a little bit. I remember buying a pretty rare Red Cross back at one time. Eventually it wan't as rare as it was when I acquired it. I doubt many more Cobb backs come out but stranger things have happened.

I for one believe this one was part of the original find, and the family held it back. It doesn't make sense that they would find another one in a different part of the house. So is this the last one, or are they sitting on a stack of them? Time will tell.

it'd be great if they had hundreds of them stashed in that house...then more of us could own one!
