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,

I got this T205 about a year ago for a bit under $1000.
Similar reasons to yours ... I wanted a Cobb and couldn’t afford most. I guess it would cost a little more now. It’s no jewel with the obvious paper loss. Still, I’m very happy with it.
Good luck with your search.

I got this one last year at the tri-Star show for 440.00 after some negotiation.
It might be a little over graded but the price was right.

im looking at cards on fleabay and many/most cards suggested can not really be found for 1000 or less anymore.

It is what it is, unfortunately. Ty Cobb is a big name as we all know and I picked the wrong time to want one of his cards! I'm going the saving up route, I think. Rather save to get a card I really want then settle for something less.

Colgan chip is one you can get reasonable.

The cards that are still up for sale are there because they're at the higher end of acceptable prices. Go through 130point results to see what accepted offers were. Flip through threads on B/S/T here.
Ebay alerts are going to be your best friend when it comes to jumping on a well priced card. It's waiting game, but there are always deals to be had out there.
