Best Cobb… on a budget

[FrankWakefield]

I basically agree with the 'stache

If you buy a card that's too raggedy and you really don't like it, you'll eventually replace it... and then you join that dreaded club of those who 'bought a card twice so they could have it once'. I've done that a few times, 'tis painful.

If you like the T 206, as many have suggested, take a look at the M 116. Both portraits are really nice but the blue background really pops in my opinion. Thinking a nice presenting example could be found in your price range.

Also worth at least considering caramel cards - They’re typically less common than Tcards without the significant price hike - most popular (available?) of these is the E95 but other series worth checking out as well. However, If I was only going to own a single Cobb personally, I’d pick bat off T206 - and only Bc the visual appeal is stunning.

If you consider it a card, you can get a pretty nice looking E254 Colgans Chips card in your price range..... just a thought

Hold out for the T206 portrait. Green > Red.

Some really great advice here, thx.

I am leaning toward sticking to my own ultimate Cobb (bat on or portrait) but I do love the M116 too. I’m mot usually a “back of the card” kind of collector, but I have always loved back of the M116 sporting life ads - so hokey and so literal! “If you want them, see full list in this week’s issue of Sporting Life”

Love it!

Again, thx for the advice.

Update… ok, that does it. My wife weighed in and said the Bat off Shoulder T206 is a “work of art”. Smart woman with a sharp eye!

Done deal. (Now I just need to find a nice one for $3k…. &#128556
