Thank you sir!

I found it interesting (puzzling?) that the e106 Wagner batting in Heritage last night sold for more than the e106 Cobb leaning in bat. While it was $120 more for the Wags, I thought the Cobb to be in better condition although I’m biased as I bought the Cobb (both are pictured below). Have we reached the point where Wags outsells Cobb in similar (non Wagner portrait) issues? If so, I’ll take Cobb 10 out of 10 times.

Well, I needed the Wagner for my set, but not the Cobb...so I'm partially to blame. Still lost it though.

Besides the crease, Cobby has a nice bright look to it. Congrats!

Aaron, very nice Cobb and Congrats. I was thinking the same thing on the Novelty Cutlery postcards, where the Wagner went higher than the Cobb.

It would not surprise me if someone is trying to pump up the value of this issue. I have one out for trade, not complaining, but I find the trend odd in light of where the overall market seems to be.

Peter, my gut is if you put your Wagner up for sale, rather than trade, you would get big value. It’s tough to trade a card of that value. Also, many times I put a card on the BST asking $X, and after getting no bites, consigned it to an AH where I get 130%-200% of $X. BST is not always the best place to sell such a major card.
