If you go to the original post #1 and click the link and then click on the far left link on top advertising the Topps T206 series 5 hobby boxes for sale, is where I read it. And yes I can't figure out how to post a link and should've posted that I have not verified this (Cobb 1/1). Just hope no hof pitchers aren't involved.

So, the Ty Cobb mentioned is a fantasy Ty Cobb back?

[swarmee]

Yes, it's in the parallels section. Every one of the 250 cards in the set, including Ty Cobb, got a 1/1 Ty Cobb back parallel card. I've been tracking all the ones that showed up on eBay since Series 1. Probably seen 70 different ones so far.

Silliness like this is one of the things that drove me away from modern cards. Topps does stupid stuff like this all too frequently.

I have (probably too) many collecting interests and one of my low key efforts is building the original Allen & Ginter Fans of the Period and Parasol Drill sets.

Check this out:



I get that Topps has nothing to do with what someone asks for on eBay , but raw that is $10-$15 cards. Encasing them like that, and stamping it 1/1 should not increase the value 8x to 12x.
