Meet The Cobbs...

[Joe_G.]

Another non-T206 guy who took great interest in the collection, quite the accomplishment!

Out of curiosity, I note your collage starts with T206 at left in an order that seems to follow value and then finishes with the non-T206s. Was there a reason for the order? I note the Ty Cobb back is mixed in with the T206s. Curious on your view on the backs and why you arranged them the way you did.

As others have hinted at, what do you believe are the chances that a 31st and 32nd variant surface? Not many years ago it was believed 25 would be complete.

Lastly, picking up on your future interests, how should the Tigers or Detroit Historical Museum or BB HOF display such a collection? 5 rows of 6 or 3 rows of 10? A deep and secure shadow box that slowly spins the cards in unison at the hit of a button? Would it be interactive with a touch screen that allows some high level details to be shared for each back type?

Congrats!

Jamie: Now it's on to the "Cobb Green Portrait ", I think there are only 8 of them. The total backs with all 4 Cobb's in the T206 set I think is around 57 (25,8,8 16). Is this right ?

This is correct, but Jaime would have to add Coupon and Red Cross backs as well.

Congrats!

This is the best idea I've heard as to how to display them.
