Do we have too many T206 Ty Cobb back in the market now?

We all have spent major money (relatively speaking) on a card and hated looking at it because of a flaw and regretted buying it. It sucks when you regret a large purchase like that and maybe that is happening -- missing name from paper loss, out of focus front, creasing, etc.

@Rhotchkiss, that's your card? It is a nice card but comparing that to the rest of the Lucky 7 finds, it doesn't look as attractive anymore.

Is the one that sold last night my card? No. I dont know whose card it was, nor do i know who won it. I think its a great card though and the buyer did well.

Referring to the question in the OP. No, I do not have too many T206 Ty Cobb back in the market currently. You?

I took a look at the auction, and noticed a LOT of greens for sale, but very few bat offs. Is 2020 the year of the bat off?

What attracts people to the T206 Cobb with Cobb back? Back rarity? Seems like most if not all are fairly low grade and the red portrait can be found with other backs in much higher grade for less...

I'd be afraid to buy any of the Cobb with Cobb Backs at the current price. Who knows when the next lot of 100 comes to the market ( a few at a time) ? The history of this card is strange to say the least. Two people had several copies each found in their house. How did they get these in quantities ?

The rarity and iconic status of the card. One of the few mainstream cards I'd love to own personally.

The original rarity has worn off a bit since the introduction of so many more examples. If I had to guess, and it's only a guess, I feel this card could drop a little in the future.
It is still a great card and one I would love to own, but the rarity isn't what it used to be. On a larger scale (price wise) they feel like T207 Red Crosses.......
