Yet another T206 Cobb w/ Cobb back found

[pgconboy]

I'd guess the next decade will have some interesting finds when baby boomers end up downsizing/assisted living. After that, probably a sharp decline in interesting stories like this.

Ironic...it's turning out to be a lot more common than many real t206 cobbs!

No surprise if we start seeing more Ty Cobb back cards show up at auction or just show up. Already moving down the rarity chart with each find. Maybe the original find of 7 was actaully a lot higher. Wonder if there is a connection on these people who are making the finds.

It seems to make everyone a conspiracy nut. Because a new one was found people have to automatically attack the credibility of people they don’t even know. If collecting makes some of you so miserable, why do you even bother collecting?

Because when it involves big money like that nothing surprises me anymore. I’m not saying I believe there is a hidden twist of a connection between the original lucky 7 and this new one but if it was revealed with certainty I wouldn’t be shocked. If they had really found 30 or 40 of them do you think it would of been made public?

here's the newly found "beauty!" crease moustache and all!

T206 Cobb with red background is an extremely common card.

Most people probably don’t realize the importance of the advertising back.

You have to consider that only very informed collectors understand the value associated with certain brand backs.

So there are probably others out there. It’s just not surprising that as people wake up to the importance of the back that more will come to market.

Wonder how much Just Collect paid him for it?

The same owner of the first find had another find as I recall. I think he found another one in the same house. So, these cards were spread throughout the house and kept in different places within the house. Have to agree, no surprise if the find was much bigger than reported.

I just got my ticket! Going to Joisey this weekend to find mine!!!

haha...I know I lived there 20 years! "Are you from Joisey...I'm from Joisey!"

It must be a really big house, if it takes that long to get through each room.

If they do have 30-40 of them they are dispersing them exactly as they should to maximize their profits. Reveal a find of 7 to generate a buzz about a find then slowly trickle them out 1 at a time. They have no obligation to the hobby to reveal what they have in their possession.

BINGO!! These finds happen all the time on different rare cards. Two years ago it was the Bresnahan Bregstone PC find which was not disclosed to how many. We just kept seeing them pop up in Heritage auctions for two years.

It doesn't take a conspiracy nut to realize that what's reported is often not the truth, or at least not the whole truth. Many people are less than forthcoming when large sums of money are involved.

Move along, move along. Nothing to see here.
