Interesting that Cobb was at first scarce and then widely available. Makes you wonder if there would have been a flux of Wagners if not for its removal.

Cool article, and it provides a good account of the flipping/gambling aspect that helped damage our T206 cards.
With the kids reselling the 5 cent pack of Piedmont cigarettes for between 1 and 2.5 cents apiece without the cards, I guess that effectively made the market value of the T206 cards on the street to be around 2 to 4 cents apiece. Brian |

The fact that the reporter actually reported how many Cobbs were found in the last batch of cigarettes at that store makes you wonder if he was also a collector.
