Why has Cobb gone to the moon

[Touch'EmAll]

How about the condition ? Are the Cobb's dealers are sitting on heavy in the grade 1-3 condition, how many seem available in mid grade 4-5 condition, and then high end grade 6+ condition? Same question on centering - are the 70/30, 65/35 stagnant, or are the decent centered 60/40 ish stuff also sitting? Then what about the nicely centered 60/40 and better Cobb cards - are they in high demand and don't last long in showcases or also stagnant ?

I have read quite a bit that folks are primarily only after the nice for the grade cards, and just walking by the lesser for the grade cards.

Generally speaking, supply is greater than demand right now. Buyers can opt to ignore lower graded examples, where they might not have in 2019 to 2021/22 and can wait to buy nicer examples. The strength in the market is in rarity based either on condition or availability of the particular card.

For about 12-18 months, Cobbs went crazy. They've definitely reversed course as of late but still generally above a few years ago. Many of them aren't terribly scarce so seeing dozens of them at most auctions and card shows is the current norm. It'll normalize at some point and maybe it already has.

Those go to auction ……and are generally softer in price than would have been in 2021-22.
