Affordable Ty Cobb cards?

[Seven]

Thanks for the responses gentlemen, I might go the route and save up a little bit more, The t202 option looks appealing though. I have a slight fear that prices might climb again but here's to hoping I'm wrong.

I feel like the E93 Cobb has been staying pretty flat over the past few years, while other tobacco / caramel cards have seen big climbs. I just looked and don't really see much on eBay right now, but the last couple of sales I remember seemed pretty reasonable.

I would say the exhibit cards are your best bet under $1000. I got a SGC 3, 1921 Exhibit in the spring for less than $1000. As others have already said, just keep your eyes open.

Tom Barker, National Game, some strip cards

You can pick up the 1907 Tigers team RPPC for $1,000 I think. It's not a Cobb solo issue but it is a rookie image.

James,

I picked this off Ebay about a month ago for $1175 so there are some nice ones out there! Good luck in your quest! 1913 Tom Barker Game Card as a few others mentioned.

Peace, Mike

Would be my vote.

This is not mine, and I have no connection to the seller, but it's tough to go wrong with something that was issued during the height of his career and looks great on a wall.

If you took it to a restoration place they could probably remove most of that stain, and you would still have plenty of money left over for a nice dinner with the wife, ice cream for the kids, and maybe even a different frame if you aren't a fan of the one it comes in.

Not that it really matters, but it's also not the 1910 supplement #1, this one is a later version (with a different picture), but because the Standard Catalog doesn't list two Cobb m113 issues, only one, it's an easy mistake for somebody to make. (Edit) I contacted the seller and he removed mention of it being #1, which is a good commentary on his selling ethics.

Just a thought,
Doug
