Which card will sell for more

[Rucc_31]

I voted trout, only because people are usually sheep and not lions. Plus most people don’t even know what the W600 Cobb is. Not that, that is any reason for a Trout to potentially sell for more than one of the most sought after Cobb cards.

I am pretty sure the guy that owns the super refractor trout has a million dollar price tag on it. And this red is the next best card. I can see it touching 750k with the right buyers going back and forth.

At any rate it will be interesting to see what the gap is between modern day “investment cards” and smelly “collectors vintage”

*Not taking any shots at vintage. I love it! But it seems there is a divide in the card market between vintage collectors and modern day investors (look at all the stupid Jordan inserts right now...and base card values of players like Lebron. Lebron year 15 base card in a gem Grade surpassed 200 for some reason. It was a dollar card 2 months ago).

Regardless of what card sells for more, the collectors who DO KNOW what the W600 Cobb is would likely wish for those who don't know that they would kindly stay that way----less competition for them. Thus, keep having fun fishing for Trout, while I search the deep to "TY" one on to this magnificent white whale Cobb.

I do not wish to infer a manufactured rarity is not worthy of big money; however, as someone else beautifully described, Mr. Trout's stature in the hobby has not settled as yet. I do not wish him evil---no way. Nevertheless, the "what in the world were you thinking?" kinds of decisions that all sorts of people make in their lives that permanently taint their once-powerful reputation fill bookstores, magazines, and are there for all to read in the newspaper.
