T205 Cobb is:

-an ornately decorated card with a tiny often oft registered image of cobb's head...you don't even get his neck!

-in a large...difficult to complete set that will always play 2nd or 3rd fiddle to t206

-more common

My collection:

Personally I have a t202 cobb/jennings in my collection...more for the center panel depicting cobbs famous slide.

I also have an e95 cobb...an e95ish candy box cobb card...and a tim carroll original of an e95 cobb...so maybe I'm biased.

Additionally I buy cards I like...when I have attempted to "invest" in cards I haven't done so well.

Is that an answer?
Love love love that E95 box top, or display cut, or whatever. It’s awesome!

If I had to choose between these two cards in regards to long term value in EX condition my choice would be the T205. I personally love this image of Ty due to it's colorful presentation.

See Leon's newly acquired Sgc 80 (6) example in the current December pick up thread. Excellence at it's best!

Thanks Tony. You have always had a great eye for cards with the best eye appeal. I understand why you wanted this one.
And while I love the E95 Cobby, T205 is my obvious choice.

Great card Leon. Those gold borders are hard to find W/O chipping issues. Very nice eye appeal. Congrats.
